Mastering the Maintenance Challenge

Camp Testimonial

Safety and Compliance Regulations

Today, states vary significantly in their oversight of camp operations and require a system that is broadly applicable and easy to update.  In many states, camps fall under the jurisdiction of the state health department, which has set up guidelines for camp operations with added processes and guidelines to lower the risk of COVID-19 exposure and spread.  Preparing for these audits and inspections is easily performed through a CMMS.

With a CMMS camps can identify the procedures and processes that need to be done to meet compliance regulations, by setting up tasks within their CMMS software that must be followed.  From identifying and scheduling workers, keeping historic repair information, to the tracking of preventative maintenance schedules, tasks, maintenance frequency, manuals, notes, instructions, tools/parts needed, and more. Tracking, documentation and reporting of safety specifications are all maintained into a centralized CMMS database, accessible from anywhere at any time.
