They will also use property management and smart systems such as Computerized Maintenance Management System, Building Management/Automation Systems, and Electronic Lock Encoders. They will use safety equipment including Lockout/Tagout kits, safety glasses, ear protection, steel-toed boots, insulated gloves and respirators/dust masks.
