When writing PMs that require multiple grease guns to be taken up ladders and stairs, it is beneficial to add a stop point in the PM that states, for example, "Before ascending these stairs, make sure you have guns A, C and D". This stops techs from having to carry too much equipment up flights of stairs or ladders, which is a safety positive. It also stops them from getting up to the top with the incorrect guns and mixing greases in equipment, which leads to premature failures. (Patrick Walsh, maintenace specialist, BHP Billiton)
