As organisations continue to use more technology and machinery, any instance of equipment breakdown can carry serious consequences, in fact, research reveals that 30% of all losses in 2019 were due to equipment breakdown. Some of the forms of equipment breakdown that could affect your business, include:

Electrical systems - Electrical systems affect almost all of a business’s functions, and even a short-circuit failure can spread and cause substantial loss.

Communication and security equipment - This could affect computers, phone systems, CCTV systems and fire alarm system, affected business being conducted, online systems for both employees and customers and also potentially employee safety.

Mechanical systems - On-site machinery breaking down can affect the basic day-to-day operations of a business.

Consider the following guidance to help prevent potential break downs:

Conduct regular inspections and maintenance - Make sure that all inspections are undertaken regularly and by a professional or use of a supplier handbook, in order to avoid further potential breakdowns.

Train employees - Only allow competent and qualified staff to use and maintain on-site equipment.
