9. Training and Qualifications: Specify the training requirements and qualifications necessary for personnel involved in maintenance and repair activities. Ensure that staff is adequately trained to perform their assigned tasks.
10. SafetySafety is a condition in which persons are safe from injury; hurt; or loss while present in the work... Procedures: Emphasize safety protocols throughout the document, addressing potential hazards associated with maintenance and repair activities. Include information on personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements.
11. Emergency Procedures: Provide clear instructions on what to do in the event of equipment failure or emergencies during maintenance and repair activities. Include emergency contact information and shutdown procedures.
12. Continuous Improvement: Encourage a culture of continuous improvement by including mechanisms for feedback, regular review of procedures, and updating the document to reflect lessons learned and technological advancements.
13. Compliance: Ensure that the Equipment Maintenance and Repair Standard Procedure complies with relevant industry standards, regulations, and internal policies.
Equipment Maintenance and Repair Standard Procedure:
- Read the warranty information supplied with each piece of new equipment to learn what the manufacturer recommends.

- List appropriate clean dates and a box to initial and date when cleaning is completed.
- Insist that managers pay attention to maintenance schedules.
- Post a list of local service agencies, their phone numbers, and which brands they cover.
- Upon start-up of a new facility, place a list in the front of the binder containing the make, model, serial number, and date, along with the service and warranty period for each piece of equipment.
- SetSet: Allowing an item to go from a soft or liquid state to a firmer more solid state. up service, cleaning, and inspection programs for all operational equipment with service agents.
- Set up a regular exhaust hood and duct cleaning program to prevent fires.
