Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Construction plant operators have an inextricable link with their plant and equipment. This is because the success or failure of any maintenance regime depends upon the competence of the operator to: manually monitor machine condition; take periodic oil samples for analysis; and perform fixed-time-to maintenance when required. A lack of maintenance continuity can have a devastating effect upon: machine productivity; maintenance cost control and budgets, and health and safety.
