How to improve HME Safety

For HME operators and maintainers, using a Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) can greatly increase safety. There are at least 27 ways that good CMMS management can do this:
1. Prearranged reminders for maintenance to avoid malfunctions and mishaps.
2. Monitoring the wear and tear of important parts that can create a safety hazard when they fail.
3. Recording safety inspections and the findings thereof.
4. Notifications of impending regulatory compliance audits.
5. A thorough maintenance history to spot reoccurring problems.
6. Management of spare part inventories to guarantee prompt repairs.
7. Tracking of operator certification and training.
8. Documenting and examining incidents and near misses.
9. Checklists for maintenance procedures to guarantee meticulous work.
10. Easy access to safety procedures unique to each piece of equipment.
11. Including manufacturer recalls and safety bulletins.
12. Real-time tracking of the hours and usage of the equipment.
13. Monitoring fuel and fluid usage to find problems or leaks.
14. Field access to manuals and safety protocols via mobile devices.
15. Automatic creation of work orders for tasks that are vital to safety.
16. The ability to attach photos and videos to issues for documentation.
17. Monitoring of maintainer HME specific & safety related skill expiration dates and allow you to book course appointments.
18. Telematics integration for continuous monitoring of equipment health in real time.
19. Analysing historical data to forecast future failures.
21. Adaptable inspection forms to suit various HME components.
22. Automatic alerts for neglected maintenance assignments.
23. Documenting and monitoring upgrades and modifications to equipment.
24. Integration of weather data for safe operation planning.
25. Recording operator comments and issues.
26. Producing safety performance reports in order to make ongoing improvements.
27. Pre-Start Inspections can be done on a Mobile App that comes with the CMMS, allowing any defects found to have work requests created immediately.
You can build a thorough safety ecosystem around your HME operation and maintenance by managing these aspects well with a CMMS. This will lower risks and encourage a culture of safety-first maintenance and operation.
By offering thorough data on safety inspection compliance, maintenance of essential safety components, and incident tracking, a CMMS can significantly improve your HME safety audits.
Reviewing operator certifications, safety training records, and compliance with safety procedures over the period since the last audit can be done with this tool.
The status of your machines’ operator safety-related equipment and the application of manufacturer safety alerts or recalls can both be monitored by a CMMS.
It allows you to evaluate how quickly you respond to repairs that are necessary for safety as well as how well you adhere to general safety and environmental standards.
In the end, a safety audit powered by a CMMS provides you with an unbiased, data-driven picture of your safety performance, assisting you in identifying areas of strength and improvement in order to maintain the highest safety standards for your HME operation.
