OSHA’s “Five Emergency Maintenance Best Practices All Plant Employees Should Follow” addresses issues such as a sudden machine failure of a critical asset that needs instant repair, according to an article in Occupational Health and Safety.

Emergency maintenance is an unplanned event of repair or maintenance to make the equipment operational again. Here are a few examples of emergency maintenance:

sudden replacement of a gasket of a pump
