Title: PPM Schedule for Fire Doors within Healthcare
Post by: hospitalboy on August 06, 2014, 09:53:22 AM
Hi All

After going through various PPMs with the estates team, it appears there is no PPM Schedule in place for fire doors in 2 very large acute hospital sites!!  ???
Has anyone got one i can look at, as i now need to tackle this asap.

Thanks in advance

Cheers

What is PPM schedule, I would ask all of you, the first time you use an abbreviation write it in full follow by the abbreviation in brackets for thickeys like me?   :'(

Hi hospitalboy

I pick up work needed to be done on fire doors in our Trust during the annual fire risk assessment reviews. I have asked for an independent check be carried out on several occasions, but at the moment it is left down to me. I document doors that require attention on a  spreadsheet and send it to the Estates Officer. This is on a shared drive and he highlights the doors that have been repaired in red...that's it...I'm still pressing for a proper independent survey though

PPM isn't really about picking up things that need repair. arguably you're too late.

Good PPM is about preventing excessive wear and tear by lubricating things and tightening things that get loose etc etc.

I've never seen anything like this for doors.

You can create PPM for just about anything. I frequently advocate it for Hotels where I suggest the Hotel is split into manageable chunks and the fire doors are examined, adjusted and maintained on a regular basis. so for a 6 storey hotel  I suggest the top floor is done in the first two months of the year the storey below the following two months etc.

The advantages are:
