  • Effective and regular maintenance will result in fewer machinery failures and breakdowns. This in turn will minimise the rate of operational delays and serious incidents. 
  • Maintenance requires a systemic approach and should form part of the operator’s safety management system 
  • Introduce specific measures to identify and mitigate risks to assure the continued reliability of equipment, machinery and systems.  
  • Investigate technical deficiencies and failures to minimise the risk of future occurrences. 
  • Ensure appropriate resources are available to carry out an effective maintenance schedule.
