Health and Safety Obligations

Health and Safety is a prime concern of the Facilities department due particularly to the specialist maintenance requirements of complex equipment that may be a matter of life and death for some patients.

Eclipse-fm®/fmfirst®  supports

Easily task definition for carrying out planned maintenance

Automated scheduling of Planned Maintenance tasks

Qualifications checks - only properly qualified personnel are designated to carry out critical maintenance tasks

Maintenance history and audit trail prove and maintain the "when done and by who" details

Creating an FM framework where "best practice" comes naturally

Risk minimisation under new Health and Safety legislation by knowing you will always have proof that you did it right.

Best Practice

Long term record keeping is vital in order to provide peace of mind for management.

Eclipse-fm®/fmfirst® supports compliance with H&S regulations and provide a safe working environment in today’s safety critical environments.

Ensure that the right people, and only the right people carry out safety critical maintenance

Maintenance & Financial recording is "for ever". Auditable, and very difficult to circumvent, the financial aspects of task management are simply "best practice" conformant, while permanent and detailed maintenance recording safeguards you and your staff from future liability claims.

Enhance your facilities managment activities and improve overall productivity.  An essential tool for all "Hotel" management activities. Administer and schedule portering, meal delivery, and all other "asset-less" tasks and bring the whole of FM under the one administrative umbrella.
