It’s always important to be prepared no matter what line of work you are in. In the facility maintenance world our guys have to be prepared for just about anything and with that they need standard equipment on them at all times.
Think back to when you were going to school or maybe played a sport or even a musical instrument. You had to always have your gear ready for the next practice as well as be prepared for the unexpected – such as having plenty of water with you or your books and binders ready for the next day at school, etc.
Being prepared ahead of time can significantly limit any last minute mishaps or like in the business world; your bottom line for your company as well as your reputation.
Types of maintenance companies can vary but for us we do numerous types of repairs or remodels – so what does a typical facility maintenance company truck have on it for the daily – let’s take a look:
Pliers, flashlights, level, wrenches, screw drivers, screws/bolts, utility knife, cove base, stud finder, clamps, extension cords, standard plumbing pieces such as pvc fittings & pvc glue, electric tape, plumbers torch, hacksaw, snake machine….and then some.
Remember that you should always have on hand, ESSENTIALS needed, that numerous jobs might entail using.
BEING PREPARED = SUCCESS
