A press hall combines large solvent volumes, high air movement, heated dryers, and webs generating static — which is a complete ignition scenario if the controls slip. Bonding and grounding at transfer points is the specific control most often missed, because a solvent transfer looks harmless and the static that ignites it is invisible until the moment it matters.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

Quantities on the floor creep past permitted limits because it is convenient; cabinet doors get propped; grounding clamps go missing and nobody replaces them; and solvent-soaked rags accumulate in open bins where they can self-heat. Each is individually minor and collectively an ignition source in a building full of fuel.
Monthly. Bonding and grounding should be verified at every transfer as a habit rather than a scheduled task — the monthly walk is there to confirm the habit is real and that floor quantities have not crept.
This procedure — and every other PM for your industry — is already built into ChatterFix. Pick your industry and it lands on the right equipment, on the right interval, in about three minutes.
