Coating costs are escalating due to increased awareness of the environment and safety and health issues. Owners can reduce the overall cost of maintenance painting projects through the implementation of a total quality program. This program should encompass project pre-planning, evaluation of safety and quality assurance programs, and analysis of employee absenteeism and turnover. The information presented is a case history of one utility's experience managing a maintenance painting program during a five-year period.
