All in-house Custodial employees receive training on cleaning standards, procedures and chemical use. The time frame varies for individual employees. Supervisors monitor staff closely during the training period and records are kept of individual employee training. Continuing, all employees are accountable for following best cleaning standards and safety procedures.
Indoor Air Quality
Special attention will be paid to improve indoor air quality by preventing the use of unsafe cleaning chemicals with hazardous contaminants and by introducing environmentally friendly approved Green products in all university buildings. These Green products must be certified by the Environmental Choice Program or approved by Green Seal.
