A Practical Facilities Maintenance Handbook

A Practical Facilities Maintenance Handbook has been designed as your go-to source for documents, signage, tags, labels, and reference materials that are commonly used in the facilities maintenance/management space. Since no two facilities are exactly the same, it would be impractical to try and fil this handbook with every possible piece of content that every facility may use. Instead, the content in this handbook is designed to be universal in nature. The purpose of this handbook is to improve workflows, increase productivity and safety of employees and building occupants.

The content of this handbook was carefully curated. Examples of commonly used documents included in this

handbook are: work order, request for quote, request for proposal, hot work permit, daily forklift inspection, and more. These documents can be photocopied and used as is, or you can scan them into your computer and add your company logo and company details to each form to make them your own. Examples of commonly used signage, tags, and labels included in this handbook are: no parking, closed for maintenance, wet paint, hazmat, lockout/tagout, inspection tags, secondary container tags, and more. These all can be used as is, or printed and laminated, or even printed on sticker paper. Additionally, included in this handbook is an inches-to-millimeters conversion table, wiring schematics, welding, plumbing, and electrical symbols, and 3D isometric drawings of common shop equipment that you can use to fabricate your own shop equipment in house, or send the drawings to your local metal shop to fabricate for your facility.
