Briefing Note No. 4

Energy Institute Briefing Note No. 4 - Maintenance

Maintenance work in major hazard industries could involve isolating process streams of dangerous substances, then stripping down and rebuilding a system - perhaps removing or disabling safety systems to do this - or, the task could be as simple as changing a fuse in a plug. Irrespective of the work undertaken, maintenance is a human activity and its quality depends upon the performance of the people who undertake it.
