Type: Fill Checklist

In this critical step of the equipment management process, high-risk equipment is identified based on various parameters such as its operational history, maintenance record, age, and condition. This involves conducting a thorough assessment to determine which equipment poses the greatest potential risk to personnel, the environment, and business operations in case of malfunction or failure. A team of experts with knowledge of the equipment's specifications and operating procedures conducts this evaluation. They use data analytics and specialized software to monitor trends and patterns that indicate increased likelihood of equipment failure. The results are then analyzed to identify areas where immediate attention is required to prevent potential hazards and minimize downtime. This proactive approach enables businesses to take corrective actions, prioritize maintenance schedules, and ensure a safe working environment for employees.
