Coming Full Circle: A New Perspective on Public Works & Work Management Systems
Information gathering is one of the cornerstones of all inspections, planning and services provided by Public Works Departments throughout North America. This paper will discuss the basics of setting up a program that will take in various aspects of operations, types of inspections that should be performed and the all important part of reacting to recommendations and faults as well as code compliance issues. How do you know what you have, what needs to be inspected and what needs to be repaired if you don’t have a policy or procedure to follow, that will take you from inspection to information gathering and finally to repairs where required that meet current codes, standards and regulations. This White Paper will also touch on the importance or record keeping, inspections, codes and standards, your responsibilities for inspections, preventative maintenance, as well as risk management and loss prevention programs.
