Fail-Safe
Maintenance definition:
Fail-Safe refers to a design feature or system that, in the event of a failure, responds in a way that will cause no or minimal harm to other equipment, the environment, or people. In maintenance, implementing fail-safe mechanisms is crucial for enhancing safety and reliability, ensuring that equipment defaults to a safe condition during malfunctions. Fail-safe designs are particularly important in critical systems where failure could have significant consequences.
