PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM POLICY In order to provide a safe environment for Residents, employees, and visitors, a preventative maintenance program has been implemented to promote the maintenance of equipment in a state of good repair and condition. DEFINITIONS ♦ "Preventative maintenance" is the systematic, inspection, detection, and repair of equipment and facilities to ensure such equipment and facilities are maintained in a satisfactory operating condition by correcting incipient failures either before they occur or before they develop into major defects. ♦ "Maintenance" includes tests, measurements, adjustments, and parts replacement that is performed specifically to prevent faults from occurring. PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITY ♦ The Executive Director will ensure the training of construction and maintenance staff in preventive maintenance procedures on an annual basis. ♦ The Executive Director will be responsible for ensuring all maintenance staff are trained in the areas of which they are responsible. PROCEDURAL COMPONENTS ♦ Scheduliny, o An annual inventory of all equipment is conducted, including: ■ All HVAC units. • Chillers. ■ Boilers. ■ Major pumps. ■ Laundry equipment. • All major kitchen equipment. o Based on the inventory, a calendar is developed that guides preventative maintenance staff in completing timely servicing and maintenance of all equipment. The calendar lists the preventative maintenance due on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis. o Assessed equipment includes items owned by the Community, supplied by a vendor, leased or rented. o The preventative maintenance is completed in accordance with a defined procedure. When manufacturer's guideline are available, preventative maintenance is in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. ♦ The Executive Director will be responsible for ensuring all maintenance staff are trained in the areas of which they are responsible. ♦ Record Keeping o The Community shall keep a separate file or tabbed section of a notebook designated for each piece of equipment requiring preventative maintenance. o The file should include any instructional manuals and required parts list to perform the preventative maintenance. o The file should include any equipment -specific log to document maintenance completion. The record should note whether preventative maintenance was provided and whether any problems in servicing were identified. If problems are identified, the corrective action taken is recorded. o In the event that maintenance cannot be completed, the reason should be noted along with the action plan for completion. o Records should be retained for five (5) years, unless a different requirement has been set forth by state/federal regulations or statutes. ♦ Inspections o The Community shall develop a schedule to delineate all inspections that are to be completed on a regular basis. Inspections verify that all equipment and furnishings are in working order and fee from safety hazards. o Inspection checklists are developed for at least: ■ The building. ■ Each Resident unit. • Common areas. • Company vehicles. ■ Other specific areas, such as kitchens and laundry areas. ■ Alarms. o Alarms are inspected frequently to ensure that they are in proper working order. Alarms are inspected pursuant to manufacturer's specifications. Where alarm batteries are utilized, a routine schedule for verifying that batteries are operational is maintained, along with a regular schedule for changing batteries. o Building inspection includes, at least: ■ Heating and air conditioning systems. ■ Ventilation ducts, including clothes dryer ducts. ■ Electronic doors. ■ Signs, lighting. ■ Generators. ■ Sprinkler systems. ■ Wiring and electrical outlets. ■ Oxygen storage. ■ Medical gas storage. ■ Emergency lighting. ■ Drains and gutters. • Storage areas. • Refrigerator and freezer. • Utility and housekeeping storage areas, including all chemicals. o Vehicle inspection includes, at least: • Coolant. ■ Oil. ■ Tire pressure. ■ Lights. ■ Directional. ■ Brakes. ■ Wipers and blades. ■ Windshield cleaner. ■ Other vehicle safety items. ♦ Work Orders and Service Requests o A system for work orders is established among all staff, Residents, and preventive maintenance staff that provides efficient communication regarding equipment problems. o The work order includes documentation of: • The problem. ■ Date problem was identified. • Who was notified? • Corrective action (servicing, repair, replacement. ■ Completion date. ■ Follow up actions, if any. 8 III. DEVELOPING A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM GOAL Regardless of how complex a preventative maintenance program seems, the goal remains the same "Maximize the losses due to equipment breakdowns and maximize energy savings by insuring a reasonable efficiency of the equipment." It has been documented that there can be as much as a 20% reduction in energy use directly attributable to a good preventative maintenance program. OVERVIEW The total maintenance task of our Community includes many different types of activities. • Keeping our Residents safe and satisfied is our number one goal. Responding to Resident concerns such as inoperative televisions or uncomfortable temperatures is a priority. • To respond to work orders to correct various in-house breakdowns. • To maintain the cosmetic aspects of the Community at all times. This includes worn carpet, torn vinyl or broken furniture. • To maintain an inventory of spare parts such as, plumbing parts, fan belts and circulating pumps. • Use a preventative maintenance program for better time management. • Monitor energy levels and energy controls to minimize costs of the Community. All of these aspects are important and addressed in a systematized and efficient manner. This document presents a simple and efficient system to deal with the preventative maintenance portion of the total maintenance activity. Equipment included under the program includes all HVAC systems including Resident units, staff units and other major mechanical equipment. The complete list would include all equipment that requires regular maintenance. It is suggested however, that major equipment be incorporated first. Lesser items can be added later once the system is up and operating well. Criteria are listed by priority in the section on implementation. PROCEDURE ♦ Implementation — How to set up the system o The first phase of the preventative maintenance program seems the hardest. Actually, it is quite simple if you follow logical steps. o It is not necessary to initiate a program that includes every piece of equipment in the Community. In fact, it is best to start out by selecting only the most critical equipment for the first phase. Later, once that portion of the program has been operating smoothly, it can be expanded to include less critical equipment. ♦ Priority Guidelines E o How critical is the unit? If it breaks down, will it have a direct impact on the Residents and/or staff, or severely cripple the department that directly serves the Residents and/or staff? o How long can it be "down" before affecting the overall operations? o How much energy does it use? What is it costing the Community to run the equipment at reduced efficiency? o What does the manufacturer say about preventative maintenance? Is it critical? o Does the time it takes to perform preventative maintenance on the equipment cost more than the benefit it produces? ♦ Making an Equipment List o The first phase should include: ■ All HVAC units. ■ Chillers. • Boilers. ■ Major pumps. ■ Laundry equipment. ■ All major kitchen equipment. If there is a question on whether some equipment should be included, refer to the priority guidelines listed. List all equipment appropriate for preventative maintenance. Make a separate sheet for different types of equipment. ♦ Equipment Data & Repair Log Forms o The equipment data form contains a complete listing of all descriptive information (belt sizes, motor numbers, manufacturer, model number and phone number of manufacturer/part supplier). Record maintenance requirements on this form. See attached form. o This is a short concise description of what, and how often, on various maintenance items. ♦ Schedules and Assignments o This is the heart of the system. Obtain a loose-leaf binder and divide it into 53 weeks. Behind each tab is a complete but brief description of all preventative maintenance scheduled that week and what equipment is to be completed. Copy the attached form, which becomes a "work order." ♦ Suggested Guidelines o Each week remove a sheet from the binder for the week; make one copy and replace the originals back in the binder. o The maintenance director will determine what the duty of the week is and what is the best day and time to do the maintenance. In that column write the day it is to be accomplished and fill in the estimated amount of time it should take. o When the Maintenance Director completes the assigned task, he/she initial and date the sheet in the complete column and fills for time the task took. 10 o It unusual problems were encountered that necessitate maintenance beyond the norm, it should be written on the back of the sheet. If this unusual maintenance cannot be done right away, the Maintenance Director makes out a work order to complete at his/her earliest time. o Unusual maintenance required is logged in the "Repair Log" for that equipment. o Upon completion of all preventative maintenance tasks for the week, the Maintenance Director is given to the Executive Director. The Maintenance Director copies the task list and files the sheet in the appropriate week. o The completed tasks must be kept as a permanent record for ongoing reviews. The binder, along with the original is then placed in the binder. Each year the binder should be identified as the preventative maintenance manual for the current year and a new binder started for the upcoming year. o As the program progresses, the preventative maintenance sheet originals can be changed to reflect operating experience, some items may need to be added, some deleted, etc. o A fifty-third week should be created where duties encountered every few years are logged. An example of this would be the rebuilding of an air conditioning compressor every three years during the winter months. When the fifty-third week comes up each year, a note of each duty to be performed in the upcoming year should be made and inserted in the appropriate plastic protector. ♦ Basics of a Preventative Maintenance Program o Equipnlcnt Identification Number ■ These numbers are necessary to avoid confusion in what equipment our records and maintenance activities refer to. o Equipment Data ■ A description and identification of the major equipment. It includes manufacturer, model number, serial number, belt sizes, motor numbers, etc. (these are used to order parts, replacement motors, etc., and sever as an inventory). o The Re'ular Maintenance Requirements (Preventative Mainteila[lce) ■ A description of what should be done on a regular basis and how often, on that specific piece of equipment. (This is not the detailed preventative schedule but just a synopsis of the requirements all in one place). o Equipincnt Repair Lol; ■ Records a history of all unscheduled maintenance that was necessary to keep the equipment operating. This does not include regular preventative maintenance items (this history is essential in making judgments about replacements, etc.). o Preventative Maintenance Schedule ■ A pre -planned sequence of maintenance activities spread across the year, to insure proper frequency and time lines of preventative maintenance tasks. o A Work Order Method 11 • To allow assignment of tasks to maintenance and create a record of who did what (it is essential that specific responsibility be assigned for preventative maintenance tasks and that records are kept to allow follow-up and insure tasks are properly accomplished). ■ There are numerous ways of systematizing these essentials: card files, notebooks, file drawers, computerized date entries, color -coding, display boards, visible files, etc. All work, but some work better than others depending on how easy they are to use. It is quite simple to sit down and design a preventative maintenance system that works on paper. It's quite another thing to make it work in the real world. o The Criteria • No loose cards to lose. ■ No preventative maintenance work orders to fill out. ■ A minimum of codes (if you can spell it out once, it is better than de- coding it forever). ■ A system designed for the user's point of view. ■ Write the names, manufacturer, and location and if applicable, the model number and serial number off the tag. When you have completed this task, you will have a good listing of all the equipment in your preventative maintenance program. ■ Once the list of equipment of each type is complete, you can assign numbers to them in any manner that seems logical. It is common to number your major equipment first. Remember the numbers should start with "one" for each type. Example: A-1, A-2, L-1, L-2, etc. o Pennancntly Identifying the Equipment ■ Number the equipment as soon as possible. A stenciling kit will be needed that has large letters and numbers (about two inches) for the bigger pieces of equipment such as pumps, etc. Another smaller letter size kit should be purchased (about one inch) for the smaller equipment. The small size is more appropriate for items such as equipment mixers. Use bright orange (not day glow) spray acrylic paint. o Generating Data Cards ■ Make copies of the blank equipment data cards. For each piece of equipment listed on your sheet, in pencil transfer the equipment number and other items on your list to these forms or input into the computer database if applicable. A schedule should be set up to systematically gather the other data required. The data sheet copies can be put on a clipboard and taken to the various locations, noting any comments on preventative maintenance that would be required (i.e. extra replacement parts to stock, belt sizes, etc.). Even if it only an hour or two each day, the job will be done with a minimum amount of effort. When all the additional data for one piece of equipment, the paper copy can be given to the front desk to be typed or inputted on permanent records. Put the card (if not computerized) in a protective sleeve and insert it in the notebook. 12 ♦ Guidelines on Preventative Maintenance Activities The following is presented as an example only; it is not intended to be all-inclusive.
