1. Role of Facilities Staff

The Importance of the Job

The process of teaching children in school involves not only the teacher, but support staff and parents whose services contribute directly or indirectly to their educational growth. In the course of the day-to-day work, it may seem that it is an endless job of cleaning rooms that will be dirty again tomorrow. As true as this may be, it should be remembered that how well you do your job can affect not only the health and safety of the children, but the morale and atmosphere of the entire school. Custodians are responsible primarily for cleaning the school building. Buildings, equipment, and grounds are in your care. Operations and preventative maintenance includes security to prevent vandalism and theft. The community, teachers, and pupils take pride in a well-kept attractive school and will help you keep it that way.

The Public Relations of the Job

The principal and teachers need the assistance of professional Facilities staff. The district realizes the importance of the Facilities staff's position and appreciates the fact that a clean, well-kept, properly heated and ventilated building favorably affects the teachers in their teaching and the children in their learning. You can gain good will for the school through efficiency and a friendly attitude toward pupils, teachers, and visitors. The public expects all district employees to be dependable, courteous and cheerful.

Facilities staff are a part of the school's team. As a team member, you are expected to support all staff in a manner which will reinforce their efforts in the performance of their duties. When it is necessary for custodians to go into a classroom during class time, please enter very quietly and do whatever is necessary with as little commotion as possible.

2. Important Staff Information

Qualifications for Facilities Staff

All staff members must have a high school diploma or GED. Different types of Facilities positions require specialized training or certifications. Please refer to the job descriptions for these specific requirements. Facilities job descriptions can be found in the "Employment" section of this handbook.

Employee Uniform

The Facilities Department has a mandatory, monitored uniform policy. You will be provided seven (7) uniform shirts and one (1) pair of non-skid sole shoes. Staff should arrive on the job each day in the required freshly laundered professional work attire.

Appropriate uniform and personal appearance includes:

• Department-provided uniform shirt (7) and non-skid sole shoes (1 pair)
• Hose or socks
• No excessive jewelry or visible body piercing (nose ring, tongue or eyebrow studs or hoops)
• Clean, well-manicured fingernails; no artificial nails, well-manicured facial hair
• Friendly smile!
• Uniform shirts are to be tucked in.

**Maintaining a professional image is important. Replacement of tattered, worn uniform shirt or shoes is available through the Head Custodian or Facilities.

Hours

Most facilities employees are full-time employees who work eight (8) hours a day, five (5) days a week. Consult your letter of appointment for the number of hours you are to work. You will have a half hour for a duty-free break during the day. This will mean that you will be in attendance at your site for a half hour longer than your work hours. For example, if you are to work eight (8) hours, you will be in attendance at your site for eight and a half (8 1/2) hours each day. Employees may not arrive to work more than 30 minutes prior to the start of their shift.

Facilities employees are permitted two 15 minute breaks and should use their break time for personal calls, checking cell phone messages and text messages. The use of personal cell phones during working hours is prohibited.

Attendance

Regular attendance is an essential function of the job. If you must be absent, it is your responsibility to report this to your supervisor as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made to cover your responsibilities for the day.

All early shift custodians (6:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.) should report an absence or that they will be late to work by calling Gustavo Bateman 816-918-9316 or Ron Clayborn 816-719-6812 at 4:00 a.m. If no one is available to take the call, please continue to call until you are able to talk to someone in person. All other custodians should report an absence two (2) hours prior to the start of their shift.

Board of Education policy 4310 states, "When employees are absent more than ten (10) days in any semester or more than fifteen (15) days per school year, their absence is considered excessive. The Superintendent/Designee will review each incident of excessive absence and may require the employee to provide medical documentation or may consider disciplinary actions up to and including termination. Appropriate documentation may also be requested for unusual patterns of absences, or absences of three or more consecutive days."

Failure to report for duty or neglect to report absences for three (3) consecutive days will be considered by the employer as employee job abandonment.

Snow Day Attendance

All job descriptions for the Facilities Department state snow removal and lawn care as part of the job responsibilities. All support staff are required to work on snow days. For the safety of students and staff, all early shift employees (6:00 am - 2:30 pm) should adjust their scheduled work time to make sure sidewalks are cleared before students and staff arrive at the buildings. All custodial staff should periodically check sidewalks throughout the day and clear snow and/or ice as needed. Same day Vacation and Personal Days are not permitted on snow days. Sick days require a doctor note.

Salary

Facilities staff are paid according to the scale approved by the Independence Board of Education. If district finances allow, employees are advanced one step on the scale at the beginning of the fiscal year (July1). This movement does not apply to new employees who are hired after April 1. These employees will remain on their step until the following year. A copy of the current scale is located in the "Employment" section of this handbook.

Facilities employees who are scheduled to work at least twenty-five (25) hours a week are paid on an "even pay" basis. This means that their annual salary is divided into twenty-four (24) equal payments, no matter how many days are worked in the month. Overtime, extra hours, or docks are adjusted on the paycheck following the month in which these events occur. If an employee exits from the district before the end of their work year, the final paycheck is adjusted to pay them for the actual days worked and any vacation days accrued at the time of exit. Payday is on the fifth (5^th) and twentieth (20^th) of the month, or the preceding Friday if these days fall on a weekend.

Recording Work Time

Facilities staff should record their working hours using the district's electronic timekeeping system. The payroll secretary/supervisor will review your timesheet by verifying the information recorded in the system. The Director of Facilities will approve the timesheet at the end of the pay period.

Overtime

Overtime is paid in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act. Time that an employee is required to work beyond forty (40) hours in a seven day period (Monday-Sunday), will be compensated at time and a half (1.5) of the regular hourly rate of pay.

Overtime is paid when your supervisor requests you to do tasks that cannot be completed during the forty (40) hour workweek. Overtime must be approved in advance by your supervisor.

Benefits

Staff who are hired to work a minimum of twenty-five (25) hours a week may participate in the Board of Education paid health, dental, and life insurance programs. They are also eligible for long term disability insurance. Detailed information concerning benefits may be obtained by contacting the Benefits Office (521-5300) at the Board of Education Building. A summary of employee benefits can also be found in the "Benefits" section of this handbook.

Leave Days

Full-time (minimum 37.5 hours per week) twelve (12) month employees accrue twelve (12) Sick Leave days each year. Three (3) of these may be used as Personal Leave days. A 24 hour minimum notice when requesting a Personal Day. Three (3) Bereavement Leave days are available annually. The use of these days is outlined in Board of Education Policy/Regulation 4320.

During the first year of employment, sick leave time shall accumulate at the rate of two (2) days per month until allowable days are accumulated. During the second and subsequent years of employment, annual allowable sick leave days are accumulated immediately upon assuming responsibilities for the school year. Sick leave days not used each year will accumulate for future use. Unused personal days will roll over as sick leave days for the coming year. Bereavement days do not accumulate.

Exceptions to the district's leave policies should be directed to your supervisor to forward to the Human Resources office.

Vacation

Full-time, twelve (12) month employees are entitled to take vacation with pay as accrued each year of employment. Vacation must be taken at a time convenient to the District and must be approved by the Director of Facilities or Designee. A minimum of 48 hour notice is required when requesting Vacation days. Further explanation of vacation accruement may be found in Board of Education Regulation 4331.

Confidentiality

Federal and state laws, as well as Board of Education Policy, prohibit staff members from sharing any information about students. Information about students' behavior, medical conditions, and educational progress are confidential and you cannot share anything that you see or hear with others. Please see your school administrator if you have any questions about this.

Evaluations

To help you understand your job responsibilities and assess how well you are fulfilling those responsibilities, you will be evaluated using the performance-based evaluation included in this handbook. Although you may be evaluated at any time during the year, evaluations generally are completed in the Spring. Your supervisor will discuss the evaluation with you and ask that you sign the evaluation. Please take time to study this evaluation and discuss any questions with your supervisor. A Monthly Quality Control evaluation will be administered by the Head Custodian on or before the 20th of each month.

Impact of Changes to the Personnel Records Policy

Changes to Policy and Regulation 4860 shall not be constructed to limit or restrict access to personnel files beyond the access allowed as established by this policy in effect as of May 1, 2012.

4. Master Custodial Schedule

Master Custodial Schedule

5. Cleaning Equipment and Uses

Cleaning Equipment and Uses

The need for proper care of equipment cannot be overemphasized. A job can be no better than the person who does it or the equipment used. Equipment that has proper care will stay in use much longer. It will be safer for the operator to use and will enable the custodian to do a better job. After each use, make it a practice to clean equipment and store it properly. Inspect power equipment daily. If equipment needs repairs, contact the building custodian. Ensure that electrical cords and connectors are grounded and in good condition. Any cords that have had the grounding prong removed or broken, or where the cord is frayed, should be immediately taken out of service. Do not use equipment until it has been fully repaired.

Custodians Carts

The custodian's cart is one of the most useful tools in building housekeeping. It is designed to carry all necessary equipment needed by the custodian.

1. Several cleaning tools or products can be readily available by using the "caddy" with pockets.
2. Keep cart clean, stocked and stored properly.
3. Empty all trash into dumpster each shift.

Mop Bucket and Press

1. Clean after use and store properly.
2. Buckets will last longer if emptied, dried, and turned upside down to store.

Wet Mops

1. Consist of long strands of twisted cotton yarn secured by a band at the top.
2. The most common size mop head is 24 ounces.
3. Turn in all used wet mops weekly for laundering.

Note: Wet mops should be rinsed out well each time they are used, wrung as dry as possible, and then after shaking the strands apart, hung with the head up where they will dry. If stored very long in a damp place, wet mops will mildew and develop an odor that will render them unfit for use.

Dust Mops

1. Consists of twisted cotton yarn strands secured to a band for attaching to the dust mop handle.
2. Available in a variety of sizes and shapes.
3. Most commonly used sizes are 24", 36", and 60" mops
4. Can be used with cleaning solutions, or treated with oil for dust control.
5. Can be laundered.
6. Keep clean with bristle brush regularly and prior to turning in to be laundered.

Push Brooms and Corn Brooms

1. Made from various materials depending upon the job they are designed for.
2. Used primarily for sweeping sidewalks, entries, and other non-finished
3. Will raise a lot of dust into air, unless used with care.
4. Do not use on finished floors.

Vacuum Cleaners

In the matter of dirt removal from the premises, there is no substitute which even approaches the vacuum cleaner for thoroughness. The suction of the vacuum cleaner pulls all loose particles into its flow, including those in corners and around furniture, preventing the gradual accumulation in difficult places. On carpeting it draws the embedded dust out of the pile. Grit left in the carpeting, cuts the pile and hastens the deterioration of the carpeting.

1. The industrial vacuum cleaner performs another function which is almost as necessary and quite as effective as picking up dry accumulations. Most industrial vacuum cleaners are or can be adapted for picking up water and are, therefore, highly efficient for removing scrub water from resilient floors.
2. Vacuum cleaners must be emptied each shift (or otherwise as necessary).
3. Filters are to be cleaned regularly to insure maximum air-flow and to extend the life of the motor.
4. Clean machine exterior also, and store properly.

Floor Machine (Buffer)

The floor machine is an indispensable machine for maintaining resilient floors. It can also be used for spot-cleaning carpets when equipped with solution tank and shampoo brush.

1. 20" machines are most commonly used for polishing, scrubbing, and stripping resilient floors.
2. Wipe clean the exterior and under the unit after each use.

Carpet Extractors

Carpet Extractors provide the most efficient method of cleaning carpets. Most are designed to inject a solution of water (under pressure) into the carpet. Pump sprayers should be used to apply detergents to carpet. This will prevent the solution jets from clogging on the extractor. This solution is then agitated by a powered brush and the soiled solution is then extracted by means of a powerful vacuum, removing soils and most of the moisture. The use of fans after a carpet has been cleaned will help speed the drying process and help prevent the growth of mildew.

1. Individuals can be easily trained to operate these machines.
2. Removes more soil than any other practical system.
3. Leaves carpets damp/dry if equipment is used properly.
4. Empty dirt and clean water after each use. Rinse the dirty water receptacle to keep odors away.

6. Cleaning Procedures

Cleaning Procedures

This section discusses cleaning procedures by function. It provides information on daily, weekly and other cleaning procedures in these areas:

1. Entrances, Lobbies, and Corridors.
2. Classrooms and laboratories.
3. Offices, lounges, and conference rooms.
4. Restrooms, Locker rooms, Showers and Dressing Areas.
5. Cafeterias and lunch areas.
6. Shops and other service areas.
7. Gyms and multipurpose rooms.

Corridor/Entrance/Lobbies Cleaning Duties-Daily

These areas are generally the first areas seen by students, staff and visitors. Their condition and cleanliness leaves a lasting impression on all that enter the building. It is of the utmost importance that these areas are maintained to a standard of excellence.

Considerable dirt is carried in and deposited in entryways and corridors. The custodian's schedule should include adequate time to sweep these areas of travel more often than once a day. Regular sweeping or snow removal from the sidewalks outside of entryway doors will prevent some dirt and sand from entering the building. Snow and ice should be removed from the entryway as soon as possible using sand or ice melt to avoid slips and falls. Use only those ice melt products that are approved by the school district. Some entryways have floor mats to serve as a dirt and sand trap. These must be cleaned periodically, or daily during the "mud" season. Entryway carpet is cleaned most effectively with an extractor running the rinse cycle 1-3 times. Fans need to be on during this process to speed drying and help prevent mildew.

Daily:

• Empty waste receptacles, remove debris, police entrance for snow, leaves, and litter, and remove.
• If floor is resilient tile, dust mop floors with a wide, treated dust mop, keeping the dust mop head on the floor at all times. Pick up soil from floor with dustpan. With a lightly dampened mop, spot-mop floors as necessary to remove soil.

Classrooms and Laboratories

There is more time spent in classroom cleaning than any other phase of custodial duties. Valuable time and many steps can be saved by careful planning. Due to the many different types of furniture and equipment used in the classroom, a careful analysis should be made to determine how to clean each room in the shortest time with the fewest steps and still maintain the required standard of cleanliness. To keep a classroom clean will entail much more than just sweeping the floor and dusting the furniture. It will require a custodian with a willingness to work, a custodian who takes pride in his/her work and one who is interested in the welfare of the youngsters. Some classrooms will have desks that may be shifted from side to side each day as you clean the floor, while others have tables that can only be moved a few inches. Some furniture in the rooms can be rolled away from the wall to make sweeping easier; other furniture is stationary and must be cleaned around and underneath. Tables and desks must be wiped off with disinfectant. The custodian cart will hold the necessary equipment and materials to clean classrooms.

7. Methods and Procedures

Methods and Procedures

Assembling Equipment and Supplies

At the beginning of each shift, the custodian should assemble all tools and materials needed to clean thoroughly. This will minimize frequent return trips to the custodial closet to get something else.

• Custodian cart with caddy
• Spray bottles with appropriate solutions to clean glass, counters, sinks, disinfect surfaces, and spot cleaning
• Dust cloths
• Paper towels
• Putty knife/razor blade scrapper
• Dust mop (treated if needed)
• Wet mop (if needed)
• Mop bucket and press (if needed)
• Vacuum cleaner complete
• Plastic liners (small and large)
• Counter brush
• Dust pan
• Gum remover
• Protective glasses and gloves

Drinking Fountains

If drinking fountains are not cleaned regularly and correctly, they can become a health hazard. The public expects clean drinking water, therefore it is the responsibility of the custodian to keep the drinking fountains clean and sanitary. Drinking fountains should be cleaned daily using the following methods:

1. Use spray bottle or bucket with water and detergent/disinfectant solution to spray or wipe solution over all surfaces.
2. Agitate with clean cloth, small brush, or paper towel.
3. Use clean cloth or paper towel to wipe dry and polish chrome and other surfaces.
4. Adjust the bubbler so that the water stream is the correct height (not hitting the spout and not spraying).

Chalkboards and Marker Boards

Be sure to check for information to remain on the board before cleaning. A few words on the care of chalkboards may be helpful.

1. Most chalkboards can be cleaned by simply erasing with a clean felt eraser and wiping with a clean cloth.
2. Water is not recommended for most chalkboards as the water plus chalk equals glue and will fill the chalkboard pores, giving a poor writing surface.
3. Some of the newer boards require washing as they are not designed for chalk. If you are not sure, check with your supervisor.

4. An eraser and treated dusting cloth can be used to remove the fine chalk dust if necessary.
5. On occasion, as assigned, fine cleanser can be used carefully on some chalkboards to restore "bite".

6. The chalk tray can be damp wiped at this time or vacuumed out later while vacuuming carpet. Vacuum erasers, if needed.
7. Use only solutions recommended by the manufacturer when cleaning "Dry Erase Marker Boards".

Dusting

From the standpoint of health as well as appearance, dusting is one of the most important jobs of the custodian. Dust can be a carrier of disease germs. Visible dust presents a dirty appearance that needs to be taken care of as soon as possible.

A vacuum cleaner is the best tool for removing dust.

Treated "dust cloths" can be used for most dusting. These are usually rolls of factory treated flannel cloth.

Some surfaces lend themselves well to "damp dusting" using a clean cloth and plastic sprayer with appropriate solution. Where students eat at their desks, the desk tops are to be cleaned daily with a district-approved disinfectant.

Dust all horizontal surfaces such as window ledges, sills, files, counter tops, and desks. Inspect student desk tops and spot clean them to remove heavy soil, heavy marking or graffiti.

As a general rule all horizontal surfaces less than 5' will receive a thorough dusting weekly. Horizontal surfaces greater than 5' will receive a thorough dusting monthly. Some surfaces may require spot dusting on a daily basis.

Note: Lock all windows when you clean the sills.

Cleaning Classroom Sinks and Counters

1. Clean sinks and replenish paper towels and hand soap daily. Clean sinks by using plastic sprayer with disinfectant/detergent solution. Spray and wipe dry with a paper towel, or use fine cleanser, rinse and wipe dry with clean cloth or paper towel.
2. Spray solution on counter and wipe clean with clean cloth or paper towel.

Dust Mopping Resilient Floors

If the floor is resilient type either totally or partially, the following is recommended:

1. Pick up large pieces of paper or other debris before starting to clean.
2. Use treated dust mop and carefully dust mop all resilient floor areas. Clean under all desks, equipment, etc. that are off the floor.
3. Dust mop debris to one area for pick up with counter brush and dust pan.
4. Dust mop may be lightly shaken or vacuumed to remove dust. Do in appropriate area.
5. Retreat dust mop as necessary by lightly spraying with dust oil and allow setting before using, or hanging up.

6. If area is carpeted, with a strip of resilient flooring, it is permissible to sweep dust onto carpet for pick up when vacuuming.

Trash

Empty all trash receptacles. Do not reach into the receptacles, but carefully dump the contents of the receptacle into the waste collection bag. Damp wipe soiled receptacles. Replace plastic liners daily.

Note: Remove lunch trash immediately following lunch. Use ramp or steps provided when throwing trash into dumpsters. Do not throw over your head. This will minimize injury.

Carpet Vacuuming

The vacuum cleaner is the most effective tool to remove soil from many surfaces, especially carpeting.

1. Move furniture in room only as necessary to vacuum all areas of the carpeting.
2. Pick up large pieces of paper and other debris before vacuuming (perhaps teachers and students may be asked to assist).
3. Vacuum all carpeted areas, getting under desks, furniture and equipment that is off the floor.
4. Vacuum chalk trays (if not already done) and erasers (as needed).
5. Replace all furniture.
6. Look for and clean up spots or soiled areas on carpeting using plastic sprayer, appropriate cleaner, and clean cloths or paper towels. Remove gum by using gum remover-follow manufacturer's instructions.

Spot Cleaning

1. Spot clean walls, doors, and ledges as previously recommended. Spot clean daily in carpeted areas where students are eating. Use clean cloth or paper towels and detergent solution in plastic spray bottle.
2. Spot clean glass in doors and partitions and on the inside of windows to remove smudges as previously recommended. Use soft, lint free, clean cloth or paper towels and glass cleaner in plastic sprayer.
3. Dust or clean vents in ceilings of classrooms, offices, etc. as previously recommended.

Before leaving the room, visually check to make sure all the following duties are completed:

• Windows are locked.
• All items are in appropriate place.
• Room looks clean and - is clean!
• Lights are turned off.
• Door is locked.

Restroom Cleaning

The job of cleaning and disinfecting your rest rooms is not a difficult one, if the work is done efficiently and daily as it should be. Modern fixture design usually makes cleaning them fast and effective if proper procedures are followed. Remember that deodorant blocks are not permitted.

Deodorants do not clean or sanitize, but merely cover up one odor with another. Clean rest rooms are important for a number of reasons:

• Bacteria control to help eliminate cross infections to safeguard health.
• Many times the custodial staff is judged on the appearance and cleanliness of the rest rooms.
• Clean rest rooms encourage the public to help keep them that way.
• Clean rest room fixtures greatly reduce the possibility of offensive odors (and complaints).
• The most frequent lingering cause of odors in rest rooms is due to uric acid salts. Remove these salts through proper cleaning procedures and the odors are gone! Rest rooms also require adequate ventilation.

Refilling Dispensers

1. Check all dispensers daily to insure adequate supply.
2. Refill all dispensers as required
3. Check the working condition of the units.
4. Close and lock dispenser.
5. Spray the surfaces with germicidal/disinfectant solution and wipe dry with paper towel. At the same time check the soap valve to assure proper operating condition.
6. Clean the surface of the dispenser as above.
7. Fill all soap dispensers.
8. Stock the sanitary napkin/tampon dispenser.
9. In the women's restrooms, it is essential that the sanitary napkin/tampon machine be stocked at all times. If the machine becomes inoperable, it must be repaired or reported promptly.
10. Unlock the machine.
11. Refill machine correctly to ensure that it will dispense napkins properly.
12. Close and lock the machine.

Cleaning Sinks and Wash Basins

Several methods can be used to clean sinks with equal final results, however, the following is recommended:

1. Use spray bottle with germicidal/disinfectant solution or johnny mop with germicidal/disinfectant solution in pail and spray/wipe sink (inside and outside), faucets and adjacent wall areas.
2. Let sit a minute, and then scrub with paper towel, clean cloth, or brush. (Paper towel preferred.)

3. Use a small amount of fine cleanser if necessary.
4. Rinse as necessary and polish with clean cloth or paper towel.
5. Wipe walls adjacent to sinks to remove grime, spots, etc. as above.
6. Clean pipes underneath sinks daily as part of the procedure.
7. Do not use lime de-scaler on counter tops.

Mirrors

Mirrors in rest rooms are easy to keep clean by spraying lightly with glass cleaner or germicidal/detergent solution and wiping dry and/or polishing with a clean, lint free cloth or paper towel. Never use an abrasive cleaner or acid or dirty cloth on minor. These may mar or scratch surface. Avoid using excessive water as it may get into the frame backing and damage the silvering.

Urinals and Toilet Bowls

Wear personal protective equipment at all times. This is for your personal protection.

To clean inside bowl:

1. Flush toilet and/or urinal.
2. Use disinfectant from dispensing system-follow manufacturer's instructions.
3. Use cotton swab (johnny mop) and/or toilet brush and swab inside of bowl using solution.
4. Scrub as necessary-be sure to swab solution up and under the flush rim. Scrub thoroughly.
5. Flush toilet or urinal and rinse swab or brush in clean water before proceeding to next fixture.

To clean seat and outside of fixtures using sprayer:

1. Spray germicidal/disinfectant solution on toilet seat (both sides), and all of the outside surfaces of the fixtures (toilets and urinals). Johnny mop with germicidal/disinfectant solution in pail is also acceptable.
2. Let stand a minute or so.
3. Wipe dry with paper towels starting with the top of the seat, then underside and finally the balance of the fixture down to the floor.

Note: This procedure is the most effective way to sanitize a fixture, because you are always using clean solution with no chance of cross-contamination. Also, plastic spray bottles or one (1) gallon pressure sprayers can be used.

Note: Be sure to spray plunger with disinfectant after use. Keep in a bucket when not in use.

Bathroom Walls and Partitions

1. Spray or damp dust with a germicidal/detergent solution on surfaces such as ledges, partitions, dispensers, wainscoting, shelves, areas around urinals and toilets, and lower walls as necessary.
2. Use either sprayers or bucket with germicidal/detergent solution, paper towels, clean cloths or a brush.
3. Wipe dry, if necessary, with paper towels or clean cloth to prevent streaks and spotting.

Additional Notes

To discourage graffiti, always remove it right away. Test chemical or cleaner in an obscure area prior to use. In older buildings it may be necessary to paint the stalls frequently to maintain desired levels of appearance.

Bathroom and Shower Floors: (Does not include wood floors)

The floors are made of a variety of materials. Some judgment is necessary as to the use of strong chemicals and excessive amounts of water. If the floor can be damaged by over-wetting, substitute with light damp mopping.

1. Mix mopping solution per manufacturer's instructions.
2. Use clean, wet mop and wet down the floor thoroughly with the solution (damp mop if floor would be damaged as above).
3. Let stand a few moments for the chemicals to work.
4. Agitate the solution with your mop as needed.
5. Pick up soiled solution with mop, floor squeegee, and pick-up pan or floor drain, or use wet-vac for pick up. Clean all corners and edges. (Scrape if necessary.)
6. Return all receptacles to proper position.

Note: Do not rinse floor as we want to take full advantage of the residual benefits of the germicide. Before leaving the rest room, take a quick visual check of the area and see if it smells clean and looks clean! Be proud of doing the job well.

Shower Rooms, Locker Rooms and Dressing Rooms

Trash

1. Empty all trash containers (including small pieces of soap and other debris) into cart.
2. Reline containers with plastic liner.
3. Spray or wipe containers with germicide/disinfectant solution. Wipe dry with clean cloth or paper

Benches Furniture and Lockers

1. Spray or wipe (with cloth) with germicide/disinfectant solution and scrub or wipe dry with clean cloth.
2. Spot clean walls and lights as needed (as above). Replace burned out lights.
3. Replenish paper towels, soap, etc. Clean dispensers and lock.

Showers

1. Wipe down walls with germicide/disinfectant solution and cloth, wedge mop, sponge mop, or brush. Let solution stay on walls a few minutes to allow chemicals to work.
2. Scrub or agitate solution to loosen soil and scum. Rinse with clean water.
3. Polish handles, shower heads, and other hardware and wipe dry.
4. Clean hair, etc. from shower drain.

Floor Surfaces

The flooring surfaces vary considerably in the different buildings, however, the following is recommended:

1. Sweep or dust mop (treated) floor to remove large pieces of paper and other debris.
2. Pick up towels, socks, shoes, etc. and store appropriately (PE teachers and students should assist).
3. Lightly flood floors with germicide/detergent solution and warm water.
4. Let stand 3 minutes or more for chemical action.
5. Agitate or scrub with wet mop, brush (long handled),or power buffer, if necessary.
6. Pick up soiled solution with mop, squeegee to drain, or wet vacuum up.

Note: Rinsing not necessary as the residual benefits of the germicide are desirable. Clean all equipment and store properly.

Vomit Cleanup

Clean up vomit as soon as possible and always use gloves. Follow the instructions below:

1. If on carpeting only, use absorbent granules, sweep, then extract with disinfectant and dump waste directly into basin.
2. Clean off furniture.
3. Clean all equipment and store properly.

Gym and Multi-Purpose Room Floors

These areas present two (2) different types of flooring material (wood and resilient flooring), therefore each type of flooring will be addressed here.

Resilient Floors

These include such flooring surfaces as asphalt tile, hard vinyl tile, sheet goods, and resilient "poured" floors. Most of the custodian's work in these areas will consist of floor care procedures, with a limited amount of time spent dusting or cleaning benches, bleachers, or chairs.

1. Use treated dust mop using factory recommended treatment to clean floor. Do not "sweep" with dust mop as this will scatter dust into the air. Keep dust mop on the floor

and clean in long "runs". Clean out dust mop by carefully shaking where appropriate or clean with vacuum cleaner.

2. Re-treat lightly with "mop dressing" as needed.
3. Pick up dust and debris with dust pan and counter brush or with vacuum and dispose of trash.
4. Wet mop total floor or damp mop as needed to remove spots. Use detergent and water solution. Agitate with wet mop or lightly scrub with buffer if necessary. Auto scrubbing the floor is also acceptable to accomplish the same task.
5. Pick up soiled solution.
6. Reseal as necessary (floors are sealed when new).
7. High speed buff as needed. Very effective way to clean and repair floor.
8. Burnish as needed.

Wood Floors

Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Daily:

1. Pick up and dispose of debris.
2. Remove chewing gum.
3. Dust mop floor with a clean and properly treated mop.
4. Wipe floor with bare hand to test if dust remains on the floor. If dust is detected, repeat step No. 3.
5. For normal soil removal, damp mop floor with a recommended cleaner or detergent.
6. Remove rubber burns and floor marks with a cloth, a tennis ball on a mop handle, or by rubbing marks with your shoe. Light scrubbing with a mildly abrasive sponge and cleaner may be necessary for stubborn floor marks.

Weekly:

1. Auto scrub floors to remove all soil and debris build up. Pay close attention not to leave standing water on floor.

Annually:

1. For lightly worn floors, a light "screening" may be required and one coat of floor finish. Consult manufacturer for approved finishes.
2. For badly worn or damaged floors, consult your installer to determine if heavy screening or sanding is needed.
3. Don't allow water or liquids to stand on floor.
4. Most manufacturers recommend maintaining relative humidity between 35-50% year round.

Floors

WOOD: Follow manufacturer's instructions.

VCT: Follow manufacturer's instructions. Two coats of sealer and 5 coats of wax on a stripped floor. Four coats of wax on a soap scrubbed floor. Burnish all floors before replacing furniture.

CARPET: Follow manufacturer's instructions.

RUBBER: Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Grounds

It is a daily duty to do the following:

1. Remove ice and snow from required areas immediately. Sand and ice melt should be applied to prevent injury. Remove excess salt/sand after weather event.
2. Remove paper, cans, and trash from the grounds.
3. Keep the playground equipment in safe condition. Any hazard to the children should be repaired or reported immediately.

Lights

Custodians are responsible for proper lighting in the schools. This responsibility includes the following:

1. Replace burned out bulbs and tubes by using standardized energy efficient lights prescribed by the district.
2. Turn lights off in unoccupied rooms.
3. Turn out all lights, except for security lights and check that outside lights are on before leaving the school at night.
4. Check the lighting control time clocks "weekly" for proper operation.
5. Know the location of all light switches, fuse boxes, and breaker boxes.
6. Clean fixtures and lens annually.
7. Replace burned out light bulbs and tubes with new bulbs of the same size (wattage).
8. Be sure your non-conductive (wooden or fiberglass) ladder is of the proper height and is safe.
9. Handle fixtures properly to avoid shocks or cuts.

Note:

Code requires that exit and emergency lights be lit at all times, day or night. Change both tubes on fluorescent fixtures-never only one. This will increase the life of the ballast, give better light, and reduce the frequency of tube changes.

Safety Recommendations

Never leave a slick spot or any foreign material on the floor that may be hazardous to the occupants of the building. Always put out safety precaution signs where a floor may be wet from mopping or leaking water.

Rolling Personnel Lifts

1. Do not move lift with workers on the platform.
2. Remove or make certain material or equipment will not fall from platform.
3. Watch for holes or floor debris when moving the platform.
4. Never climb aboard with oily hands or shoes.
5. Never use ladders or makeshift devices on top of lift to increase height.
6. Inspect machine frequently for defects.
7. If equipped with outrigger, make sure they are extended before extending lift.
8. Barricade a safety zone around the machine when others are in the area.
9. Use extra care when rolling on inclines or ramps.
10. Never conduct a lift except on level, even terrain.
11. Follow operating instructions and use necessary safety precautions as directed by the lift operation manual.

Chemical and Cleaning Solutions

Most chemicals used by the school district come in a highly concentrated form and must be diluted before use. Some are in dispensing systems that dilute automatically. Always read the instructions and the material safety data sheets for each product. The following safety rules are for your protection; however, they will not be of any help if you don't use them (Only dilute with water).

1. Ensure that Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are accessible and that all maintenance and custodial personnel as well as administration are aware of their location. Periodically review your MSDS sheets to ensure that they are current and reference chemicals that are currently in use. KNOW THE PROPER FIRST AID PROCEDURES FOR ALL CHEMICALS USED IN THE SCHOOL THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO CAUSE HARM TO BUILDING OCCUPANTS AND WORKERS.
2. Know what you are using. Do not use chemicals from unmarked bottles or containers.
3. Always read the label and follow the instructions.
4. Measure all chemicals. If the directions say to use four (4) ounces in one (1) gallon of water, measure the water and the chemical correctly. A weak solution may not provide the proper cleaning power. A solution that is too strong will not only waste supplies, but will damage the surface on which you use it. It may also have the potential to cause injury to yourself or others.
5. Do not substitute chemicals. Many chemicals are made only for specific jobs.
6. Never mix chemicals. You can easily destroy a chemical's usefulness or possibly create a poisonous gas or solution by mixing it with other chemicals.
7. Do not get in the habit of smelling chemicals as a means of identification. A deep breath of the fumes from some chemicals can and will injure you.
8. Protect yourself with the appropriate personal protection, i.e., safety glasses, rubber gloves, or protective clothing, if the solution you are using is a strong acid or alkali.
9. Always secure bottle caps and lids before the container leaves your hands.
10. Do not store harsh or liquid chemicals on overhead shelves.
11. Do not store heavy containers on overhead shelves.
12. Use proper ventilation at all times.
13. Store all flammable products in flammable, ventilated cabinets.

Note: Do not bring chemicals from home and do not purchase chemicals from any place other than vendors prescribed by the district.

Procedure for Cleaning Blood or Body Fluids

Precautions

Infections can be present in body fluids or blood of humans. This includes individuals with no outward signs or symptoms of infection. It is therefore important that everyone adopt routine procedures for handling the clean-up of all blood/body fluids. The procedures to be used are as follows:

1. Cover fluids with absorbent floor sweep material to keep them from spreading
2. Wear disposable vinyl gloves. Disposable vinyl gloves should be disposed of in an impervious plastic bag
3. Disposable towels or tissues should be used for clean-up and should be disposed of in an impervious plastic bag
4. All surfaces which have been in contact with body fluids should be cleaned with a 10% chlorine bleach to 90% water solution (e.g., 1 cup bleach to 9 cups of water). This solution should not be mixed in advance. It should be made fresh for each clean up.
5. If the person doing the cleaning has any open skin sores, they should take precautions to avoid direct contact of their sores to the body fluids. Disposable vinyl gloves or equivalent should be worn.
6. Good hand washing after exposure to any body fluid should consist of thorough use of soap and water for at least 10-15 seconds.
7. Each school should have a clean-up kit. This kit should consist of the following supplies, which should be in each school
   • Absorbent floor sweep
   • Disposable vinyl gloves
   • Plastic bags
   • Disposable towels or tissues
   • One copy of Clean Body Fluids Procedure
   • One copy of Glove Use Procedures

These supplies should be kept together in a central location under control of the building administrator. Additional supplies may be ordered from the Facilities Office. These supplies must be available at all times.

CAUTION: The diluted bleach solution should not be used for any other purpose than the cleanup described above. Mixing bleach with other chemicals can produce a toxic gas. If other EPA approved disinfectants are used, they must be used according to the manufacturer's directions.

Glove Use Procedures

For Cleaning of Blood and Body Fluids

PURPOSE: To prevent transmission of infections between clients and staff by limiting direct contact with clients' body secretions

RATIONALE: The increased incidence of Hepatitis B virus infection and HIV/AIDS in the population at large, dictates the need for high-risk populations to practice careful protective procedures. A significant percentage of persons infected are unidentified and, therefore, a potential risk to any care giver. The use of gloves by care givers is a protection for the client also.

RECOMMENDED GLOVE USE:

Gloves should be worn under the following circumstances:

• Any procedure that requires the handling of blood or other body secretion(s) eg., stool, urine, vomitus
• When handling equipment that has been contaminated (soiled) by a blood product or other body secretion
• When handling any dressing or material that contains any type of body secretions. This would include, but is not limited to, finger sticks, injections, suctioning (oral or wound), dressing changes of draining wounds, washing equipment that has been soiled with body secretions, or cleaning blood spills

REMEMBER:

• Wear disposable vinyl gloves on both hands for all procedures
• Thorough hand washing must be done before gloving and following removal of the gloves. Gloves should not be washed and reused.
• No client should be discriminated against, therefore gloves should be worn for ALL clients having procedures performed that involve blood or body secretions
• Disposable PPE will be stocked and is to be used by anyone working with body fluids or clean up of such fluids.
