The frequency with which lab equipment should be checked might change based on a number of circumstances. These factors include the type of equipment, the patterns of its usage, and any recommendations made by the manufacturer. In spite of this, it is generally considered to be good practise to develop a regular programme for the maintenance and inspection of equipment in order to assure results that are dependable and accurate.
Perform routine visual inspections:
Before and after each time you use your laboratory equipment, make sure you give it a thorough visual inspection. Examine the item carefully for any indications of wear and tear, deterioration, aberrant functioning, or damage. This fast assessment helps uncover evident problems that could potentially impair the performance or safety of the equipment.
Calibrate your measuring instruments on a regular basis in accordance with the calibration schedule that is specified for them or as advised by the manufacturer. The equipment is calibrated to ensure that it gives accurate and precise measurements after the calibration process.
Schedule regular preventive maintenance for essential equipment. As part of this process, you might have to clean, lubricate, adjust, or replace certain components as required. Recommended maintenance intervals are typically included in the guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
If you work in an area that is regulated or if you handle dangerous products, you may be subject to certain legal obligations governing the inspection of your equipment. Make sure that you comply with the regulations that are in effect, and document your inspections in the appropriate manner.
User manuals and guidelines Always refer to the user manuals and instructions provided by the manufacturer for detailed recommendations for the upkeep of individual pieces of equipment. They frequently include specific instructions on the frequency of inspections, cleaning processes, and any additional maintenance requirements that may be necessary.
Carry out a risk assessment in order to determine which pieces of vital equipment may need to be inspected or maintained more frequently due to the influence that they have on the outcomes of the experiments or on the participants’ safety. Make sure that these things are at the top of your maintenance agenda.
It is important to keep in mind that developing an exhaustive maintenance plan and sticking to it is one of the best ways to reduce the number of times equipment fails, guarantee correct results, and keep the workplace risk-free. If you have any questions or concerns about a particular piece of equipment, you should seek advice from the manufacturer of the item or from an expert who is knowledgeable in the relevant subject.
