Ensuring Peak Performance and Safety

Goal:

The goal of a Daily Preventive Maintenance Checklist is to establish a routine that helps ensure the equipment or systems are in optimal condition for daily operations. Performing these checks regularly can prevent minor issues from escalating into major problems, leading to improved reliability, efficiency, and safety.

Start-up Procedures:

• Check fluid levels (oil, coolant, hydraulic fluid).

• Inspect for any visible leaks.

• Verify proper lubrication of moving parts.

• Ensure that all safety guards and barriers are in place.

Operational Checks:

• Run equipment through a brief operational test.

• Listen for unusual noises or vibrations.

• Monitor gauges and indicators for normal readings.

• Check for proper functioning of controls and switches.

Safety Inspections:

• Inspect emergency stop buttons for functionality.

• Ensure all safety labels and signage are in place.

• Verify the availability and condition of personal protective equipment (PPE).

• Check for any loose or damaged electrical connections.

Cleaning and Lubrication:

• Clean filters and replace them if necessary.

• Lubricate moving parts according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

• Remove debris or dust from equipment surfaces.

Documentation and Reporting:

• Record any unusual observations or issues.

• Document fluid levels, pressure readings, and other key metrics.

• Report any maintenance needs or concerns to the appropriate personnel.

• Keep a log of daily maintenance activities for reference.
