A guide to managing dust, fume, noise, climate and ventilation during factory shutdown, maintenance or repair projects.
Factory maintenance is inevitable, however it isn't always feasible to shut down the whole factory while the works are in progress. Factories can remain live, providing that hazards are being suitably managed.
During maintenance works & shutdowns, here are some of the challenges you need to be mindful of:
- Protecting maintenance engineers, production line workers and other people on site, from the activities that are being undertaken.
- Preventing dust & fumes from migrating out of the work area and contaminating production areas or sensitive equipment.
- Maintaining suitable temperatures when fixed LEV systems are maintained/ replaced.
- Ensuring that noisy activities are properly screened off with acoustic barriers and enclosures.
- Considering hazard control for specialist applications such as grit blasting, painting steel structures, welding pipes and tanks etc.
