How many units of Heavy Equipment does your Service Manager expect you to push through on a Daily basis? Do you think this jeopardizes your safety or even the safety or some of your other colleagues? What recommendations can you make to Service Managers that are too focused on numbers and not focused enough of safety?
Thats easy ..if you suspect that the service manager is running the guy's to hard ..with huge task .. All you have to do is pick up the workplace safety handbook as supplied by the Alberta government ..make sure all the men are well versed and on board ..and go work to rule .. Unless the service manager wants to do better than applicable law ....the book is the book ..But you need everyman on board ..and stand together to make it work ... And if there are any reprocussion's ..get a labour inspector../ a liason to the labour board,or your Local 955 Operating engineer's to help you out (the OE pension plan alone makes it worth considering)... You have option's ...but you need the men to stand together ..irregardless of what direction you take ..
There are many variables in how many units can be serviced in one shift. Crew size, tooling, facilities, size machine, function of machine, which PM services are to be performed. Some machines may take several days, each. Some, like pickups, are examples of machines where several can be completely PM'd in one shift. Regardless of the PM interval or repair, NO machine is ever returned to production in an unsafe condition! This would be a criminal act, one not worth even considering no matter the bottom line or a production supervisors pleading. Safety is always job number one! All other considerations fall before it.
