Every caregiver should know how to clean and store tools, equipment, and paraphernalia to maintain the cleanliness, quality, and safety of the tools. As future caregivers, it is your responsibility to use these materials properly and with minimal help. It is also your obligation to call on repair and maintenance services when needed or on the set schedule of check-up of the tools, equipment, and paraphernalia. In the next section, you will learn how to properly check the quality of the tools, equipment, and paraphernalia and when to call and ask for repair and maintenance services.

Checking and Carry-out Routine Maintenance as per Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Checking and carry-out routine maintenance as per SOP are important to maintain the quality of the tools, equipment, and paraphernalia used in caregiving. These are also to prevent the transfer of illnesses and diseases with the use of these tools, equipment, and paraphernalia. Proper maintenance of the tools, equipment, and paraphernalias will prolong the life and deterioration of these materials thus, help maximize the use and function of each tool, equipment, and paraphernalia. Inspection, based on Oxford Dictionary of English, is a careful examination or scrutiny of any material or things. Thus, inspection involves thorough assessment to develop proper findings of the safety and health risk. Inspection of tools, equipment, and paraphernalia

1. Identify whether the tools, equipment, and paraphernalia can be operated, adjusted, and maintained safely.

2. Always check if the quality deteriorated, if so, make sure to do remedy to ensure safety and health risk.

3. Do a visual check up before using the tools, equipment, and paraphernalia. 4. Have a monthly risk assessment and inspection for the tools, equipment, and

paraphernalia. What should you do during inspection?

1. Inspect tools, equipment, and paraphernalia if there is any significant risk (for example, it can cause physical injury) to caregivers and the person using it.

2. Record your inspection in a log book or computer for re-checking. 3. Tools, equipment, and paraphernalia that requires professional inspection should not

be used.

What should you know before buying a tool, equipment, or paraphernalia in caregiving?

1. The tools, equipment, and paraphernalia should be inspected after installation or after buying the product before using them.

2. Customers have the right to return defective products. Show warranty if needed.


Steps in Inspecting the tools, equipment, and paraphernalia

1. Test the tools, equipment, and paraphernalia. 2. Quick check before use. Check the electric cable condition, functional testing, lighting,

etc. 3. Do weekly checks for the condition of the tools, equipment, and paraphernalia. 4. Undertake extensive examinations of tools, equipment, and paraphernalia in a monthly

basis. 5. Records are not normally required to be made for the simplest pre-use checks. 6. Use checklists when doing inspection and prepare short remarks on the quality.

When conducting a checking for the tools, equipment, and paraphernalia, the caregivers should know what to look at, what to look for, and what to do if they find a problem. The nature of inspections does not solely depend on the maintenance team; the caregivers, who use the tools, equipment, and paraphernalias should also need to take into account the manufacturer’s recommendations, industry advice, and their own experience of the tools, equipment, and paraphernalias, their use, the particular factors of the workplace, and the people using the work equipment.

Avoid Unnecessary Returns for Repair:

1. Do not operate tools, equipment, and paraphernalia without checking the directions or instructions for use.

2. Check the storing information. 3. Do equipment quality control checks from time to time. 4. Check the warranty information:

a. If the item is under warranty AND the repair is covered under the warranty, there is no charge for the repair service.

b. If the item is no longer under warranty, OR if the repair is covered under the warranty, there is a charge fee for the repair.

c. Refer to the contact information of the tools, equipment, and paraphernalia for the warranty.
