Maintenance of work tools and equipment is one of the major measures that can significantly affect the safety and health of employees. However, if we do not pay enough attention to this problem, the consequences could be improper functioning of the equipment, which, due to failure can cause the breakdown and employees’ injuries. For this reason, the paper pays special attention to preventive maintenance and failure analysis of vital parts, equipment and tools. In addition to the concept of preventive maintenance, which is given importance in the work, this paper focuses on the concept of equipment maintenance based on reliability.
