Aims
This module introduces students to the importance of equipment maintenance programmes, the benefits that well-maintained equipment brings to an organisation and the risk factors it faces if maintenance programmes and processes are not considered or implemented. Topics included in this module are: statutory regulations, organisational safety requirements, maintenance strategies, safe working and maintenance techniques. On successful completion of this module students will be able to explain the importance of compliance with statutory regulations associated with asset maintenance, illustrate maintenance techniques adopted by the industry, work safely whilst performing maintenance tasks in an industrial environment and identify inspection and maintenance techniques.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Analyse the impact of relevant statutory regulations and organisational safety requirements on the industrial workplace.
2.
Differentiate between the merits and use of different types of maintenance strategies in an industrial workplace.
3.
Illustrate competence in working safely by correctly identifying the hazards and risks associated with maintenance techniques.
4.
Apply effective inspection and maintenance techniques relative to a particular specialisation e.g. mechanical or electrical.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Statutory regulations
Maintenance strategies: component failure, bathtub curve, design life, periodic maintenance; reactive, preventive, predictive and reliability centred maintenance
Safety concerns: rules for employee safety, development and implementation of safe schemes of work, lone working, permit to work (PTW), emergency procedures, hazard identification and assessment of risk associated with identified hazard, use of control measures, production of a Risk Assessment & Method Statement for a maintenance procedure
Maintenance techniques: isolation and making safe, adherence to PTW process and shift changeover procedures, in-service (live) preventative maintenance
Compliance with manufacturer’s recommended inspection and maintenance procedures, using manufacturer’s data as case studies
Measurements: electrical and mechanical, mechanical operations test, functional tests e.g. exercise switching mechanisms, recording data and maintenance records
