Table 10-1 (Continued)
Training Unit “A” lubrication training consists of the following six modules that
cover the types and methods of lubrication used in the plant.
Introduction to lubrication
Constant level oilers
Bath-splash oil systems
Circulating oil systems
Grease guns and fittings
Storage and handling
Training is accomplished through the use of self-paced training modules.
Lubrication Program Biannual assessments will be conducted by Lubrication Services to eval-
Health Assessment uate the effectiveness of the Lubrication Program. The assessment will
include a review of completed Monthly Lubrication Schedules and on-
site inspections of lubricated equipment.
Program deficiencies noted during the assessment will be prioritized and
addressed through changes in procedures, additional training, etc., to
continuously improve the program.
The result of reviews, as it relates to the performance of the technicians,
will be presented to the Process Supervisors as input for technicians in
their respective areas.

Lubrication
Overview
Introduction This document outlines the Plant XYZ lubrication discipline. Refer to the appro-
priate document listed under “Elements” for more detailed information about a
particular element.
Goal Ensure that all equipment receives and maintains the required levels of lubrication
so that no equipment fails due to inadequate or improper lubrication.
Benefits Reduces friction (wear)
Removes heat
Protects from foreign material
Protects eauioment against corrosion
Elements The lubrication discipline, which will be coordinated with Lubrication Services,
consists of the following elements:
Scheduled lubrication
Oil sampling and testing
Scheduled Lubrication
Introduction Scheduled lubrication refers to equipment that receives routine lubrication
Frequency Lubrication frequency is based on the speed (RPM), horsepower (HP), service,
and type of bearing. The frequency of lubrication for Plant XYZ equipment is
defined in the Computerized Maintenance Management System.
