ML
should go beyond just safety. Machine maintenance, whether it is
proactive, predictive or preventive, can be complicated. Lubrica-
tion training should be obtained and based on the tasks that will be
performed. This type of training often results in beneficial certifica-
tions, such as the Machine Lubrication Technician (MLT) and
Machine Lubricant Analyst (MLA) certifications from the Interna-
tional Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML).
Other Tools
Multi-tools or shop tools like a torque wrench are basic essen-
tials for any technician. Even utilizing a toolbelt can provide
conveniences that will improve job performance.
Regardless of your title, if you are not equipped with the proper
tools to perform your job effectively, it is time you considered
making an investment.
