Preventive Maintenance
Challenge
Preventive Maintenance considerations are an important part of
any safety program, and should include components such as:
• formal preventive maintenance program
• pre task risk assessment policy
• regular inspections of
- lifting devices and ladders
- roofs
- machinery, tools and equipment
Be aware that fatalities and critical injuries can occur during
maintenance as well. Using properly maintained equipment
hydraulic locks, and rated jack stands, will ensure no crushing
incidents happen.
Remember, winter is also a time for additional training. It
represents an opportunity to get new and younger workers
trained on maintenance and proper use of equipment.

Remember, creating a healthy workplace is a strategic business
