| For drums of oil that are not used very often, try wrapping the drum with stretch wrap (or cling film). This will keep the top of the drum perfectly clean and protect labeling, leaving it legible through the film. (Dave Beale, Mainland Products)

| Friction is a force that resists one surface from sliding or rolling over another. Generally, there are three ways to reduce friction: using bearing surfaces that are sacrificial, such as low shear materials; replacing sliding friction with rolling-element friction, such as with the use of rolling-element bearings; and improving overall lubrication by changing viscosity, using different or improved additives, or through the use of different lubricants, i.e., synthetics, solids, etc. |
FULL STORY
Question: How are users of lubricants containing potentially hazardous components notified of any danger?

GET THE ANSWER
From "Maintenance, Replacement and Reliability: Theory and Applications, Second Edition":
Many control actions are open to the maintenance manager. The effect of these actions should not be looked at solely from their effect on the asset management department because the consequences of such actions may seriously affect other units of the organization, such as production or operations. To illustrate the possible interactions of the asset management function in other departments, consider the effect of the decision to perform repairs only and not to do any preventive maintenance, such as overhauls. |
