Maintenance system: 4 ways to improve safety at work

Brazil spent more than R$20 billion between 2012 and 2016 on social security benefits for injured workers. The data, obtained by the Digital Observatory for Occupational Health and Safety, points to the importance of investing in this area. In this sense, measures can be structured with the support of a maintenance system.

The maintenance system guides the business in its management measures, ensuring that equipment can be used with fewer errors and higher quality. In this way, accidents are avoided and the company can have a better workflow.

Here are four points that can be improved with a good maintenance system!

 

1. Makes it possible to draw up an action schedule

The schedule of actions guides all the company's maintenance routines. In this way, the business can improve the distribution of resources, as well as avoiding delays and operational bottlenecks.

It's worth noting that once actions have been planned, it will be easier for the company to avoid foreseeable risks. Professionals will be able to plan ahead to carry out the necessary routines and thus avoid failures impacting on their work.

 

2. Assists in recording incidents

Technology can help businesses in many ways. In occupational safety, smartphone apps and web systems allow the company to manage information more effectively and record incidents in a simpler, more agile and robust way.

When the tools used to manage problems are accessible at the place where they occur, there is a gain in mobility for professionals working in the field: the occupational safety technician will be able to record occurrences on site with all the information about the problem using his smartphone, for example.

 

3. Provides more accurate and reliable audits

Auditing processes, which are crucial for the company to be able to find problems, are also improved with a good maintenance system. In this case, the business will have a set of pre-structured and well-documented practices.

This will make assessing the quality of internal processes more agile and accurate. Likewise, the business will have good mechanisms for identifying and avoiding errors, as well as eliminating failures.

 

4. Knowledge base

Creating a good knowledge base about the company's internal processes and history can help managers in various routines. Knowing how the company behaves in various situations, making smarter decisions and assessing which are the most recurrent problems are just a few examples.

In this sense, creating a knowledge base makes the business maintenance system more effective. Professionals in the area will be able to consult the right way to carry out all the routines in the area and thus avoid mistakes. In addition, knowing the most important problems and demands will make decisions smarter and more reliable.

Defining an occupational safety policy is a comprehensive process that influences the work routine of all sectors of an industry. From the IT sector to the areas responsible for managing equipment on the shop floor, the company must be prepared to define a well-structured and transparent work routine.

In this scenario, the maintenance system helps the business to have a more targeted process. Mistakes are avoided, investments are better aligned with the company's profile and more demands can be met. This way, all sectors will be able to work towards creating a high-performance, reliable and safe working environment.
