Workplaces must meet minimum requirements to ensure the safety of workers, so the maintenance of facilities and equipment should be seen as a necessity that should not be avoided.
IMELEC (www.imelec.com.uy/en) performs the integral maintenance of companies, providing a high professional level which makes it the leading company in the Uruguayan corporate market.
Basically, there are three types of maintenance:
Corrective: can be planned or unplanned (emergencies). It consists in correcting the defects presenting equipment or installation. The fault takes place once detected.
Predictive: It allows controlled equipment and facilities making measurements of the variables, thus detecting failures until they occur. These measurements can be integrated to the machine or electrical installations (continued) or done on a regular basis.
Preventive: It is performed in a scheduled and periodic manner in such a way prevent the occurrence of damage or wear on the teams and facilities.
The choice of one or another kind of maintenance will depend on the characteristics of each company, but typically, tend to make a maintenance preventive or predictive, because in the corrective, the failure of the equipment or installation, acts produced once which carries drawbacks such as the increase in costs due to investment to do for repair or replacements on machines low on staff in the event that they have produced work-related accidents, among the most important side effects.
Analyzing the three types of maintenance from the point of view of the prevention of occupational risks, the preventive technique more powerful to minimize or eliminate the risks would be combining the preventive maintenance with the predictive. In all cases, IMELEC has technical staff with adequate training to perform the operation of integral maintenance of the equipment, facilities and building.
Finally, it is very important undertaking to perform a prior feasibility study, which will allow you to opt for one or several types of maintenance, according to its possibilities, but without losing the fundamental objective: ensure at all times the safety of workers, the continuity of the operations and increase the value of the facilities and property.
