Reason-for-work definitions

Reason-for-work (RFW) codes identify the reason that work is done. To prioritize work, a matrix priority is applied to the RFW according to the priority of the work asset or location. A matrix index is applied to further refine the priority of work that has the same matrix priority.

The following list shows sample reason-for-work definitions:
rfwCode6

rfwCode5
Safety. The work is to rectify a situation that has a high potential for injury or exposure to injury.
rfwCode4
