Janitorial Services

A large organization will have its ovm in-house janitors. For smaller facilities, janitorial services will usually be taken care of by a contractor. The exact work to be done by such a contractor should be spelled out in writing, where no details must be left out. Unfortunately, the degree of cleanliness is hard to define in exact terms. 

Usually, a new janitorial service will start work over a weekend. On Monday, everything shines. In many cases, the quality of work will gradually taper off. One laboratory had to change services twice during one year for this reason. A potential contractor 

A janitor surrounded by sensitive instruments may be like a bull in a china shop. In one laboratory, the janitors were not allowed to clean anything above floor level, including windows, without supervision by laboratory personnel. Janitors should not be allowed to handle containers of flammable or hazardous waste. Laboratory personnel should clear the floors completely when the janitor announces that it is time for floor waxing. 

A distributor of laboratory supplies will offer a number of cleaning products. For most jobs, however, home-type cleaners are satisfactory and lower priced. In some cases, though, an instrument s warranty may be voided if the cleaning materials recommended by the manufacturer are not used. 

Abrasive cleaners are often needed for laboratory jobs, such as removing pencil markings from etched spots on glassware. No glassware should be put away with such markings. Liquid cleaners of this type may not be as effective as powders, but their gentler abrasives are less likely to cause scratching.

Perhaps the least effective means of communications is one we live with daily, one which fills our wastebaskets and increases the load on our janitorial services—the direct mailings. According to Deno and his colleagues in 1959 (4) An eastern medical journal recently completed a survey which indicated that the practicing physician receives annually by direct mail more than 4,000 pieces of pharmaceutical literature. I have no accurate statistics to offer for I could find none I felt were valid. 

In planning toilets, locker rooms, and other facilities for the service and convenience of employees, factors that have a direct effect on operating and maintenance costs may be even more important than those governing initial costs. Proper layout and distribution of such facilities, for instance, may save enough of employees time to offset any differential in initial costs, while the selection of materials and equipment that require a minimum of janitorial services and maintenance will show corresponding economies.

The initial class was provided at the janitorial service company s central office. Since then, new employees have been instructed at the clinic as part of their pre-placement physical examination and orientation. Finally, the owner received booklets promoting safe defensive driving and the use of seat belts from the Automotive Occupant Restraint Council. These booklets were distributed to all current employees and are included in the orientation materials for all new employees. The employer plans to develop and distribute to all employees a brief self-test based on the booklet. 

One of my steadier customers used to be a large financial services company. Most of the workforce at this financial services company included office-type workers who performed most of their hours at work on the phone or in front of a computer terminal or both. They have a huge customer service contingent, along with thousands of people who work in the collection department. Besides the office workers, this company has a small maintenance staff that takes care of physical facilities. Services to this company include heating/cooling maintenance, clean air, janitorial services, and small repairs. For this company, the field is actually office space. Their safety issues included ... 

Many Mcsers also monitored a detoxification system that operated in parallel with the immune system, ridding the body of foreign chemicals. The detoxification system has become a crucial part of the body-terrain in the field of clinical ecology. Sherry Rogers, a New York chnical ecologist who has written several popular books, described this body-terrain as the janitorial service of the body. The detoxification system keeps it dean so accumulated chemicals do not destroy the machinery. like the immune system, it is everywhere and nowhere in particular, primarily composed of en2ymes that break down chemicals in the body.

Storage areas for maintenance, janitorial, and other service organizations must be provided. Safety items such as fire extinguishers, firehose cabinets, safety hoops on permanent ladders, guard rads, shielding for acid pumps, clearance for electric panel boards, etc, are needed. Manholes and cleanouts for sewer pipes within the facility as well as in the landscape and parking areas should be provided.

As a minimum, your baseline data set should include the labor, overhead, overtime premiums and other payroll costs of the maintenance department. It should also include all maintenance related contract services, excluding janitorial, and the total costs of spare parts inventories. The baseline should also include the percentage of unscheduled maintenance repairs versus scheduled actual repair costs on critical plant equipment and the annual availability of the plant.

Any person who has or may possibly have information relating to an incident should be considered a potential witness. This concept extends heyond the traditionally identified people who were direct participants or eyewitnesses to the occurrence. Indirect witnesses, such as regularly assigned service personnel who are not operations personnel, often contribute valuable information. Examples of this group include workers from maintenance, contract maintenance, laboratory, janitorial, and shipping. Occasionally regular delivery personnel who routinely visit the process unit are familiar with some aspects of what was normal routine and may have noticed some unusual condition, remark, or actions. These people should not he ignored, because they have the potential to contribute valuable information that can help resolve mysteries that would otherwise remain unresolved. 

Occupational exposure can be significantly higher than the exposure of the general population. NIOSH (1988) identified about 10,600 workers (mainly chemists, equipment servicers, and janitorial staff) as potentially exposed workers in facilities where nitrobenzene is used. Because nitrobenzene is readily absorbed through the skin, as well as taken up by inhalation and ingestion, industrial exposure necessitates worker protection, and this has been recognized for decades. At an industrial exposure level of 5 mg/m (1 ppm), a worker would receive about 25 mg during an 8- hour day (Dunlap 1981). 

Contractors providing incidental services that do not influence operation of the facility, such as janitorial work, food and drink services, laundry, delivery, and other supply services should be trained to perform their jobs in a safe and environmentally sound manner. They should also receive training in transportation safety, emergency evacuation, and other applicable safety and environmental procedures. ...

Disposable hand protection is relevant for everyone from the lab technician to the law enforcement officer, from the medical assistant to the special operations soldier, janitorial worker, EMS volunteer and food service and industrial worker.
