The True Cost of Neglecting Industrial Facility Maintenance

03/10/2025|Dean Baughman Industrial Maintenance Service|

Is Skipping Maintenance Costing Your Facility More Than You Realize?

Many facility managers assume postponing industrial maintenance helps save costs. But the truth is delaying critical upkeep can cost significantly more in long-term repairs, safety violations, and downtime.

At Dean Baughman Industrial Services, we help manufacturing plants, warehouses, and industrial facilities reduce maintenance costs and prevent major failures before they happen.

🔹 The Hidden Costs of Delaying Industrial Maintenance

1️⃣ Increased Safety Risks & Compliance Violations

  • OSHA fines for non-compliant flooring, coatings, and dust accumulation
  • Slip-and-fall hazards from deteriorating floors
  • Fire hazards from neglected dust remediation

💡 Case Study: A manufacturer faced a $50,000 OSHA fine due to peeling floor coatings and unsafe conditions. A preventative maintenance program could have saved them thousands.

2️⃣ Equipment & Structural Damage

  • Corrosion and paint deterioration on structural steel
  • Forklift traffic wearing down concrete & epoxy flooring
  • Dust buildup causing machinery breakdowns

💡 Did You Know? Studies show that every $1 spent on preventative maintenance saves $5 in emergency repairs.

3️⃣ Loss of Productivity & Expensive Downtime

  • Unplanned shutdowns to fix flooring, repaint safety lines, or deep-clean dust hazards
  • Product contamination risks in food & beverage facilities
  • Reduced efficiency from work disruptions

💡 Example: A logistics warehouse had 15% lower efficiency due to faded floor markings causing confusion in pedestrian/forklift traffic flow. A simple restriping job fixed the issue in 24 hours.
