Inspections

Preventive Maintenance (PM) systems are not only for maintaining equipment but can also be utilized to perform scheduled inspections by using the scheduling feature.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is so important in today's facilities. Building owners can be held liable if occupants develop respiratory disease, heart disease or cancer as a result of poor air quality. IAQ inspections not only test the air quality to ensure it is within standards but it can also document due diligence in the event a lawsuit is filed against your organization relating to air quality. The same benefits are true of other inspections as well. Playground inspections ensure depth of mulch, repair of dangerous or damaged equipment and the general safety of the playground. Fire Safety inspections ensure fire extinguishers and exit signs are in proper working order, all evacuation maps are up to standard, and sprinkler and alarm systems are functioning properly.

There are many inspections you may want to consider when populating your PM systems. Any routine inspections that need documentation are candidates for entry into the system. By entering the inspections as PMs the CMMS will maintain accurate records of your inspections and the results.
