Event acknowledgment to resolution

Record the building condition, assign an active responder at acknowledgment and retain the actual event period.

Step by step

  1. Record the condition Site Operator

    Site Operator identifies the site and records an Open event with its type and description. Use Outage, Maintenance, Alarm or Curtailment to describe the actual condition, keeping the affected area understandable to the response team.

    • Identify the Open site event
    • Updates Operational events, Sites
  2. Acknowledge the event Facilities Manager

    Facilities Manager acknowledges the condition through the operating-event action. Record the actual start and select an active responder. The action assigns a maintenance task for the site, giving the response work a named person.

    • Record the start and assign an active responder
    • Updates Operational events, Maintenance tasks, People
  3. Review the site response Facilities Manager or Maintenance Technician

    Maintenance Technician carries out the assigned work under the task policy. Facilities Manager reviews that progress alongside the event state and any relevant source evidence. Task progress and the condition's resolution remain separate decisions.

    • Review the site's work and condition separately
    • Updates Maintenance tasks, Operational events
  4. Resolve the condition Facilities Manager

    Facilities Manager records the event's resolution through the event action and retains the actual end. Check the resolved state and event period against the team's operating evidence before relying on the history.

    • Record Resolved and the actual end
    • Updates Operational events

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • Unclear event description. A generic alarm label can leave the responder uncertain about the affected area.
  • Inactive assignment. The acknowledgment needs a responder who meets the agreed active-person rule.
  • Task status mistaken for resolution. Completing assigned work does not by itself establish that the operating event has ended.
