Inaction isn\u2019t an option, and in some cases everyone on the\u00a0team drops what they\u2019re doing to help, which erodes the maintenance department\u2019s ability to achieve immediate and future goals. The solution is to prepare the right combination of processes and policies to avoid emergencies where possible and deal with them efficiently when necessary. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Why is emergency maintenance dangerous?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Because they didn\u2019t have time to coordinate before getting started, technicians run\u00a0higher risks of accidentally causing further damage. When a pipe bursts, for example, the team might bend or break surrounding plumbing trying to turn the water off. There\u2019s also an\u00a0increased risk of injury. With that same burst pipe example, the team might suffer electrical shock trying to work quickly without first putting on personal protection equipment or checking for active hazards.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Long-term, the more time it takes technicians to deal with an emergency, the further back they push planned and scheduled work.

They also cause major business disruptions, so they require your immediate, undivided attention. Regardless of when they happen, the maintenance team must jump into action. When a pipe bursts and starts flooding the office late Saturday night, you can\u2019t wait until Monday morning to fix it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Non-emergencies tend to develop over time and have worst-case scenarios that are unlikely to lead to immediate business disruptions.

Implementing the software simplifies these processes for you because you don\u2019t have to rely on unreliable spreadsheets and paper documents.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Outline emergency maintenance procedures<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When you\u2019ve defined your emergencies and have a system for sharing information when they happen, you need to make a list of which emergencies may occur and create procedures tailored to deal with them. That way, if one were ever to happen, your tech team already knows which steps to take.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Steps can include assessing the situation and damage, notifying the right person, and isolating the danger. Making the right information available for your team of what to do in these emergencies helps mitigate risk. Remember, the last thing you want is a member of your team trying to help but accidentally making things worse or putting themselves into even more danger.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Implement facility management software<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Make sure all the hard work you put into planning is available right when the team needs it.

For example, techs can review the material related to handing emergency maintenance whenever they have time or as part of a structured program.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can also use the software to keep a record of employee safety training, for example certificates for safe handling of hazardous materials and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) courses.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With the right planning, preparations, and proactive maintenance strategies, you can reduce the frequency and severity of emergency maintenance, protecting your people and the company assets and equipment.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emergency maintenance can be an all-hands-on-deck disaster for facility and maintenance teams.
