3 DEFINITIONS
Routine Maintenance is defined as tasks and activities that are to be carried out at regular, defined intervals
(for example, weekly, monthly, twice - yearly, annually), up to aspects undertaken on a less frequent or
intermittent basis. Routine maintenance can also be described as preventative or regular maintenance.
Cyclical Works describe tasks that are to be undertaken at greater intervals, and generally covers aspects of
upgrade or refit that can be expected to be required between every two and twenty years. It does not extend to
larger refurbishment projects. Cyclical Works can be understood to often require replacement of components or
more detailed conservation tasks than the more regular inspection and activities covered by routine maintenance.
Note: Cleaning protocols for internal surfaces and elements are generally covered in Housekeeping Permitted
Action Schedule, which should be referred to in conjunction with the Maintenance Permitted Action Schedule.
In addition, maintenance and checking of service elements, including heating, ventilation, air
conditioning, plant, electrical services, fire services and hydraulic (plumbing) services are addressed in
the OPH mechanical services information document available from Building Services. This document
provides a checking procedure for aspects of the services in the building, as well as an inventory.
