Maintenance and repair of equipment

Implementation includes compiling information using forms and procedures. For example, there will be accident and incident records and reports. There will be tracking of hazardous materials. There will be methods for making information available on hazardous materials for all organizational units that need the data. There is a need to compile information on safety-driven maintenance and repair of equipment and systems. 

Know in detail all phases of handling of NORM, identify types of exposure present, both in normal operations or in special cleaning, maintenance and repair of equipment and areas with more significant radiological hazards. 

Follow manufacturers standards for the use, maintenance, and repair of equipment. Refer to manufacturers operating, training, and maintenance manuals for guidance on repairs and replacement parts. Call manufacturers for technical assistance on operating or maintenance procedures not provided for in the manufacturers manuals. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can also provide information on proper operating methods. 

Control of the size and amount of contamination entering the system from any other source is the responsibility of the personnel who service and maintain the equipment. During installation, maintenance, and repair of hydraulic equipment, the retention of cleanliness of the system is of paramount importance for subsequent satisfactory performance.

Subindustries. Ultrasound supports a number of subindustries, including maintenance and repair. Ultrasound equipment is connected to devices such as printers, photographic equipment, and video recorders. Consumables must be replenished. These include coupling gel, film, videotapes, and printer paper. Needles and syringes are necessary for performing an amniocentesis. A number of specialized instruments are manufactured for tissue biopsy or ovum extraction. Textbooks and other educational resources are purchased by practitioners. Other educational material is marketed for the public.

Almost 25% of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable electrical equipment (known as portable appliances). While most of these accidents were caused by electric shock, over 2000 fires each year are started by faulty cables used by portable appliances, caused by a lack of effective maintenance. Portable electrical tools often present a high risk of injury, which is frequently caused by the conditions under which they are used. These conditions include the use of defective or unsuitable equipment and, indeed, the misuse of equipment. There must be a system to record the inspection, maintenance and repair of these tools. 

Management of Medical Equipment - MED CAMPUS Project 401. This was a European Project with the objective to provide appropriate stimulus and inputs at national, as well as regional levels, in order to facilitate the necessary changes and promote the required awareness pertaining to the management, maintenance and repair of health care equipment. The activities under this project took place all through 1994.

Two types of mechanical-draft towers are in use today the forced-draft and the induced-draft. In the forced-draft tower the fan is mounted at the base, and air is forced in at the bottom and discharged at low velocity through the top. This arrangement has the advantage of locating the ran and drive outside the tower, where it is convenient for inspection, maintenance, and repairs. Since the equipment is out of the hot, humid top area of the tower, the fan is not subjected to corrosive conditions. However, because of the low exit-air velocity, the forced-draft tower is subjected to excessive recirculation of the humid... 

The records display a pattern of maintenance and repair that is rarely visible elsewhere and can show less severe equipment damage trends that can lead to total failure. As such, it is possible to determine the total number of failures and failure severity. 

In this method each year s savings need to take account of the fact that, as the equipment gets older, the cost of maintenance and repairs is likely to increase. The effect of inflation can also be allowed for in assuming the annual cash flows through the life of the equipment. 

As the maintenance and repair record indicates the cost of maintenance for the specific item of plant and equipment, a simple system may be used to provide recognition of the different methods by which the work has been carried out, e.g. 

Further to the engineer s examination of the returned work dockets, purchase requisitions can be placed for parts, specialist contractors attendance, etc. On completion of all the technical aspects of the process, the information regarding the service carried out on the plant and equipment can then be entered in the maintenance and repair record by the administration.
