FACILITY SERVICES ROLE STATEMENT AND SERVICE GUIDELINES

General Service Provision

The role of Facility Services is to provide a clean and orderly environment for learning and teaching within our facilities, and to assist in ensuring general safety and comfort for staff, students and visitors. Tasks are carried out under the direction of the Manager through the Assistant Manager and Leadhands at each site.

Leadhands are responsible for dealing with day to day issues arising within the site and are instructed to be responsive to the needs and requests of site Administrators. Administrators are encouraged to work closely with Leadhands to ensure coordination of daily activities and requirements. Teachers should attempt to resolve any concerns directly with Custodians before referring them to the Leadhand or Administrator. While administrative coordination includes some direction of Custodial Staff, Administrators do not hold line responsibility for selection or direction of Custodial Staff. Administrators interested in the selection process for Custodial Staff should contact the Manager who will provide information or make arrangements for participation in the selection process. Any concerns that cannot be resolved between the Administrator and the Leadhand should be referred to the Manager or the Assistant Manager.

Each site has been provided two copies of the Facility Services Task Manual, one each for Administration and Custodians, which includes performance standards, frequency schedules, procedures and Departmental information. The manual should be used as a guide to service expectations throughout the District. Every new Custodian is provided a current copy of the manual on commencement.

Additional site supervision is provided by periodic site visits by the Manager and/or Assistant as well as service quality reviews circulated to all sites. Administrators are encouraged to contact the Manager or Assistant Manager at any time if issues arise or clarification is required. There are also periodic meetings of all Leadhands with Facility Services Management, usually between 2:30 and 4:00 p.m.


Access and Security

Facility Services is responsible for the routine closing and security of schools and other District sites. After hour or irregular service requirements must be arranged through Facility Services and or Security. Leadhands should work closely with Administrators to establish a site security protocol including time frames, access and restrictions, and confirmation of when the Administrator leaves or responsibility is transferred. Custodial Staff required for irregular functions, e.g. outside normal open hours, should be booked with Facility Services Management at least two weeks in advance.

When this is not possible, any premium cost for overtime incurred will be charged to the site. Facility Services Management will provide procedures for specific security requirements on request.

Safety

Custodians are expected to contribute to site safety by correcting and reporting hazards and maintenance needs, removing broken glass and other hazardous materials in and around the school, replacing lights and ensuring that access and egress routes are not blocked. Leadhands are designated in charge of buildings outside of normal operating hours, (as determined by Administration) and as such, have responsibilities for both the “Custodian checklist” and the “In-charge checklist” as outlined in the Crisis Procedures Manual. As with access and security requirements, communication and flexibility are required. Many Custodians are involved in site Safety Committees and Administrators are encouraged to discuss safety-related concerns with Custodians. All Custodians are responsible for ensuring that their work is carried out in a safe manner consistent with Health and Safety and Custodial procedures.

Trucking and Mail Service

The Trucking Service is established to provide transportation of District equipment and supplies required for daily operations. This includes inter-site mail, desks, chairs, tables, staging, risers, and audio/video equipment for school use or maintenance/repair. The schedule includes parts and supplies pick-up for maintenance and facility services operations only. There are additional special requirements assigned from time to time.

Responsibility for the Trucking Service rests with the Manager, Facility Services, and operations are carried out through the Assistant Manager and Trucking Service staff.


With the exception of regular mail delivery, service is provided on a requisition basis, using the online computerized maintenance management system (currently Web Work Azzier). Requisitions are submitted by site Administration and must be approved by the Manager or Assistant Manager.

Work orders should be provided at least two weeks in advance of requirements wherever possible to allow scheduling for economy and efficiency. Christmas and Graduation requirements should be requisitioned by October 15th and May 10th respectively.

Responsibility of equipment and supplies rests with the service or facility in possession thereof. The requisitioning site may be held responsible for loss or damage occurring while in its possession (normal wear and tear excluded).

The trucking service does not provide pick-up or delivery of school supplies generally; nor special requirements not normally provided by the District. There are some exceptions regarding rental items required for Christmas concerts and Graduation ceremonies. In all cases, special requirements must be discussed with Facility Services Management. Under special request, the Service may be utilized on a contract basis for needs that cannot be otherwise accommodated. In such cases, arrangements must be made with the Manager or Assistant and a charge back expense centre must be provided by the facility requisitioning the service. This charge covers the cost of wages only. Set-up and take down of equipment is the responsibility of the requisitioning site in all cases. Trucking Service staff are responsible for placement of equipment in a designated site location

and removal from a designated location of properly stacked goods prepared for transport, e.g. chairs clean and stacked in 10’s or on dollies; tape, staples, pins removed from display equipment and tables, stages and risers folded or on dollies.


Loan Equipment Available

In addition to a number of student desks and other classroom furnishings, the District has the following items available for loan use:

Choral risers – 3-step, 18” x 6’ (top) ............................................. 24 Stages – 4’ x 8’ sections .............................................................. 126 Wheelchair ramps for stages .......................................................... 1 Chairs – folding/stacking metal/plastic .................................... 2800 Tables – 30” x 96” folding legs .................................................... 236

Limits for high peak times will be enforced to accommodate as many sites as possible.

Teacher Moves

Teacher moves are provided as indicated in the DTA collective agreement, which states:

When a teacher is transferred after the school year has commenced, the school district will provide assistance so that the teacher’s own materials are moved to the new classroom.

Moves resulting from other activities (postings or layoffs) do not qualify for this service. Prior to the move, the Teacher must package and identify ALL items involved in the move and label each box or item with the destination school and room number. The service will not move personal furnishings or carpets that do not meet the District standard. Where this situation arises, the Teacher will be notified to discuss the disposition of such items.


Waste Removal and Recycling

Waste removal from all sites is the responsibility of Facility Services. Contractual arrangements are established with a waste removal agency to remove bin waste from all sites on a scheduled basis.

Special and hazardous waste is disposed of as the need arises on a contract basis. To arrange this service, a work order should be forwarded to the Manager or Assistant Manager along with a detailed inventory of the products

to be disposed of. The inventory should include the size and quantity of all containers as well as their contents and how full they are. Science and shop teachers or department heads are advised that for many special waste items the cost of disposal is significantly greater than the original purchase cost. Please avoid buying more than required because of price breaks.

Used motor oil from automotive shops is not included in this service. The school should make arrangements with an appropriate recycling facility. The cost is borne by the school.

Delta School District has a multi-commodity recycling program. The program is based on a contract for service that includes bi-weekly pick up of recycled materials from bins located at each site. The cost of the recycling program is a Facility Services expense. Collection and sorting is a site responsibility. Custodians at sites support the program by moving bagged recycle materials to the recycle bins. Concerns or questions regarding the recycling program should be referred to Facility Services Management.

District Expectations

FACILITY SERVICES PEST FACT SHEET - MICE

Mice carry disease and do serious chewing damage to property. Reducing the number in the building is important since just one pair, under ideal conditions, may generate fifty offspring a year to add to the problem!

Pest control experts recommend a three-part control process involving sanitation, mouse-proofing, and population reduction. Here are some helpful tips:

1. Keep all indoor food preparation areas clean. Store food (including pet and bird food) in mouse-proof containers and properly dispose of garbage on a daily basis. Mice eat what humans do. Keep it from them.

2. Since mice will shelter in wood, junk, and storage areas, and even vegetation outside the building, these should be removed.

3. Monitor the population by placing tracking patches of talc at 20 to 30 foot intervals throughout a building. The more tracks seen in each patch, and the more patches showing tracks, the larger the population. Often the tracks will show the runways (along walls, behind objects, and in dark corners) used by rodents.

4. Mice seldom forage more than 30 feet from their nest. Often the territory is within a 10 foot radius, but that includes areas above and below the nest. Think in terms of a sphere with a 10 foot radius. Place traps within this sphere where a large number of droppings are evident. After three days with no catch, move the traps to a new location.

5. No matter what type of trap is used, set a sufficient number of them to dramatically reduce the population quickly. Simple snap traps work, as do multiple-catch devices and glue boards. Space the traps at 5 to 10 foot intervals along runways used by the mice, and even closer together if the population is large. Don’t wash traps. The mousy smell is welcomed by the others.

6. Use fresh bait for its odour. Peanut butter, bacon, and cereal work well. Female mice are also attracted to a ball of cotton fibre they can use for nest building. Secure it to the trap’s trigger or place it in the centre of a glue board.

7. Continue to close up small entry holes around waste pipes, under doors or in air vents.

DISTRICT ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE 162: TOBACCO-FREE ENVIRONMENT


STANDARD PRECAUTIONS

There are important steps we should all take to prevent germs from spreading between people. Following these steps will help to protect others and ourselves when we come into contact with blood or body fluids.

It is not possible to tell if a person may be infected with HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or any number of other diseases. The best thing to do is treat the blood and body fluids of every person as potentially infectious. This includes all body fluids, except sweat.

Best Practices to Always Follow

Blood and Body Fluids: If you come into contact with blood and body fluids, always treat them as potentially infectious. Clean up spills promptly using absorbent material first, and then clean more thoroughly with a disinfectant like household bleach.

Gloves: Use clean, disposable gloves when handling any body fluids, or when cleaning cuts, scrapes or wounds. Wash hands after removing gloves, and dispose of the gloves in a plastic bag. Add gloves to your first aid kit so they are always ready.

Needle Stick Injuries: Wash the area with warm soapy water. Do not squeeze the wound or soak it in bleach. Go to the nearest health unit or hospital emergency department immediately for care.

Sharp Objects: Place needles and syringes in a safe container. Never re-cap, bend or break off used needles! Place them in a sealed puncture-proof metal or plastic container with a lid, such as an empty coffee tin, and then place in the garbage.

Personal Articles: Never share toothbrushes or razors. They can transmit small amounts of blood from one user to the next. Dispose of razors carefully. Handle bedding or clothing soiled with body fluids cautiously, and wash in hot soapy water.

Always Wash Hands:

• Before preparing food and after handling uncooked foods. • Before eating or smoking. • Before breastfeeding. • After toileting or diapering. • Before and after providing first aid. • After handling blood or body fluids. • Before and after providing care to an ill person.


Hand washing is the best way to prevent the spread of germs from one person to another. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 to 20 seconds. Waterless alcohol-based hand rinses can be used as long as hands aren’t heavily soiled.

Cover your Mouth when you cough or sneeze, and then wash your hands. Don’t pass your germs onto others.

Teach others, particularly children, about healthy behaviour and potential risks, and how to deal with them safely.

How Can You Keep Yourself Safe?

The guidelines outlined here are important to follow to keep yourself protected from germs. Blood or body fluids splashed on your skin are very unlikely to cause infection unless you have fresh cuts or raw chapped areas. If you are exposed to blood or other body fluids, protect yourself by wearing disposable gloves. If this is not possible, continue to help the person, and then wash immediately afterwards.

Remember, it is important to always wash your hands carefully after touching any body fluids, even if you have worn gloves.

How Can You Safely Clean Up Spills of Blood or Other Body Fluids?

1. Protect yourself by wearing disposable gloves or rubber work gloves. If there is a risk of splashing, use protective eye wear.

2. Use disposable absorbent material, such as paper towels, to remove most of the spill. Place these in a plastic bag and put in the garbage.

3. Wipe contaminated surfaces with a disinfectant solution. Use Oxidizing 14000 at dilution rate specified on the label. Soak mops or clothes used for cleaning in disinfectant for 20 minutes, or wash in hot water and detergent.

4. When you are finished, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water.


What Should You Do If You Find a Used Needle or Condom?

A needle that someone else has used may contain a small amount of his or her blood, which could carry HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus. Used condoms can also contain infectious body fluids.

Teach children to NEVER touch needles, syringes or condoms, and to tell an adult immediately if they have found one.

If you find a used syringes or condom in a school or playground, it is important to dispose of them promptly and carefully:

1. Use a pair of tongs or pliers, or a pair of study gloves, to pick up these items.

2. Discard condoms in a plastic bag.

3. Discard syringes or needles in a puncture-proof container, preferably one intended for such purposes. Any plastic or metal container with a lid, such as a coffee can, will also do. Do not place these containers in your recycling bin.

4. When you have finished, wash your hands carefully with soap and warm water. Contact the Facility Services Office at 604-946-5088 for disposal.

While the risk of infection from used condoms and syringes is very low, it is best to limit this risk as much as possible. It is important to help children understand how important these necessary precautions are.

What Should You Do If You Accidentally Prick Yourself with a Dirty Needle?

1. If possible, put the pricked area low to the ground to promote bleeding. Do not squeeze. Report to First Aid if available.

• Wash the area well with soap and water. • Do not soak the wound in germicide.

2. Go to the nearest local health unit or hospital emergency department immediately for care, or follow instructions of First Aid Attendant.

REMEMBER… ALL BLOOD AND BODY FLUIDS FROM ANY PERSON ARE POTENTIALLY INFECTIOUS.


For more information, please contact your local public health unit or family doctor, or call the 24-hour B.C. Nurse Line to speak to a registered nurse.

HOW TO REMOVE CONTAMINATED GLOVES

Remove disposable gloves as soon as possible if they become damaged or contaminated. Remove them after you have completed the task that required gloves. Gloves should also be removed before leaving the work area. Do not wash and re-use your gloves. Use new gloves for each new task.

Follow these steps to make sure your hands do not contact any blood or body fluids left on used gloves:

A. With the right-gloved hand, grasp the outside of the left glove at the top of the wrist. Peel this glove off from the cuff to fingertips while carefully turning it inside out, as you pull the glove off your hand and away from you.

B. Place the rolled-up glove into the palm of the gloved hand.

C. Using the un-gloved hand, reach inside the cuff of the right glove at the top of the wrist and peel the second glove off, turning the glove inside out while pulling it away from you, leaving the rolled-up first glove inside of the second glove.

D. Dispose of both gloves in double-lined waste container.

E. Upon returning to regular work area from all biohazard procedures, you must wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Always wash hands before eating, drinking or smoking. The risk of contamination from communicable disease can be greatly reduced by this simple procedure.

Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS)

All employees shall receive WHMIS instruction. Please advise your supervisor if you have not received this training, or would like to receive additional information.

Under WorkSafe BC regulations, employees shall be required to know:

• Hazards associated with all controlled products with which they may come in contact.

• Precautions required for the safe use of the controlled products.

• Emergency procedures related to controlled products.

• Availability of additional information regarding the controlled product.

NOTE: No employee shall repackage any controlled product without labelling it in the

appropriate manner.

Material Safety Data Sheet (M.S.D.S.)

Material Safety Data Sheets are technical bulletins providing detailed information on hazards and precautionary measures which should be taken when using controlled products.

M.S.D.S. can be obtained through the MSDSfetch! System.

Consult your supervisor for information on using the MSDSfetch! System.



Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - Supplied by the Employer

The Delta School District shall keep the following personal protective equipment in stock, which may be obtained from your supervisor:

• Hard hats • Safety goggles • Neoprene gloves (for working with caustic material) • Ear plugs/muffs • Face shields • Dust masks • Respirators (for spray painting) • Knee pads (for flooring crew) • Latex gloves • Metal toe covers (for custodians when assisting drivers) • Chain saw pants • Confined space apparatus • Safety reflective vests and stop signs or flags

Personal Protective Equipment MUST be used when required for the job. Failure to use protective equipment or failure to use it properly is a serious breach of an employee’s responsibility. Each employee should ensure that he/she receives adequate instruction from his/her supervisor prior to starting the job.

Audiometric Testing

Hearing tests shall be arranged on a regular basis by the District for those employees deemed to be at risk for hearing loss. These tests are mandatory under WorkSafe BC and employees are required to attend as scheduled.


Safety Precautions for All

Electrical

• Use only CSA or provincially approved electrical equipment and, where required, ensure appropriate machine guards are in place.

• Do not use defective power cords, plugs or receptacles. • Do not overload receptacles. • Do not run power cords across work areas unless appropriately taped. • Pull the plug, not the cord.

Housekeeping

Poor housekeeping can be the cause of numerous injuries.

Each employee is required to:

• Store all equipment, tools and materials safely and securely. • Keep aisles, corridors ramps, walkways and emergency routes free

of clutter and debris. • Pick up tripping and/or slipping hazards such as nuts, bolts, paper,

paper clips, pencils, food, etc. • Wipe up liquid spills as they occur and, if necessary, apply a non-skid material over the

spill area. In the case of chemical spills, refer to the WHMIS manual. • Store articles appropriately; e.g. only very light articles on overhead shelves. • Store all chemical substances and wastes safely and securely. • Ensure that all electrical panels and emergency equipment are unobstructed and clearly

marked. • Report all safety hazards to his/her supervisor.

Ladders

Each employee should use a ladder when required. DO NOT substitute a chair, desk or other object.


DO NOT USE:

• A stepladder which wobbles. • A ladder with damaged or worn non-slip feet, or with missing or loose steps or rungs. • A ladder on slippery surfaces. • A metal ladder while working on electrical circuits or equipment. • Do not overreach from a ladder; move the ladder as required.

The condition of a ladder which you might use on a regular basis should be checked. Report any defects promptly.

Lifting

Improper lifting is a major cause of workplace accidents. To prevent injury to an employee’s back, the following rules should be followed while lifting or carrying even light objects:

• SIZE UP THE JOB AND GET HELP IF REQUIRED. • Be certain of the footing and ensure that walkways and doors

are clear and open before lifting. • Spread feet apart for balance. • Put front foot beside load and point it in direction of travel. • Put other foot behind centre of load. • Bend knees (not beyond 90 degrees). • Get a good grip. • Maintain straight back. • Lift with the legs. • Keep object close to the body. • Do not turn while lifting; lift first, then turn, using your feet and legs. • Lift gradually, smoothly and without jerking. • Use a tool if you have to pry apart objects stuck together. • Use a cart or dolly whenever possible to reduce lifting or

carrying. • GET HELP FOR AWKWARD OR HEAVY LOADS.


Personal Apparel • Do not wear any loose clothing or dangling jewellery which might become entangled

when working around machinery. • Tie long hair back when working around machinery.

Protective Gloves

Latex gloves are available at all sites and must be worn by all employees when any possibility exists of coming in contact with blood or body fluids.

Tools/Machines

• All equipment and tools must be used correctly and for their designated purpose only. • Tools are to be maintained in good working order. • DO NOT use any tool or equipment which you have not been properly trained to use. • Use the correct tool for the job. • Ensure guards on machines are in place and operating correctly.

Roof Access for Retrieval of Objects by Custodians

The Fall Protection Program prohibits any untrained staff or individuals from accessing the roof of any District building if there is a potential fall from elevations of over 3 metres (10 feet). A worker is deemed to be ‘not at risk’ if s/he does not approach within 4 metres of an unguarded edge. The Delta School District has developed the following procedures for administrators or custodians that need access to roofs to retrieve items thrown there.

In order to ensure that items on rooftops can be safely retrieved by staff who have not had formal fall protection training, workers may access roof tops provided that ALL the conditions below are met:

Roof access for Custodians is only permitted under the following conditions:

1. Workers accessing a roof must inform office staff of their presence on the roof, and provide an anticipated completion time.

2. Roof access is only permitted during daylight hours when other staff are on site.

3. Roof access is only permitted during fair weather when there is no snow and/or ice on the roof.

4. An individual must work facing the edge of the roof or the ladder hatch. Walking backwards on the roof is not permitted.

5. Footwear appropriate for ladder climbing and walking on roof – such as rubber soled shoes (no heels, dress shoes with slippery soles, etc.) must be worn.

6. When climbing or descending the access ladder, the 3-point contact climbing method must be used. At all times, either two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand must be on the ladder at all times.

To ensure your safety when accessing the roof, the following procedures should be followed at all times:

1. Climb the roof access ladder and open hatch. When climbing the ladder, 3 point contact climbing method must be used at all times (two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand must be on the ladder at all times).

2. If hook is accessible from the ladder and 3-point contact can be maintained; pass the hook through the hatch or hook onto the hatch edge.

• If hook is not accessible from the ladder, descend ladder. From the floor, extend the lifeguard pole and hook up through the hatch and pass the hook part of the pole outside the hatch and hook it over to one side of the ladder.


3. Climb ladder and climb through the hatch.

4. When on roof, crouch down near hatch (not over it), grip hook and pull it through the hatch.

5. Extend the pole to pull objects towards you for retrieval.

6. Individuals must not get any closer to the roof edge than the length of the lifeguard pole at its full extension of 12 feet.

7. When all items have been safely removed, pass the hook through the hatch and hook onto the hatch edge. Descend ladder, and attach hook and pole back onto wall.

8. Always use 3-point contact climbing method.


Injury Reporting Procedure

The District Occupational Health and Safety Committee has been meeting with various staff groups to ensure that all staff are aware of the incident/injury reporting procedure.

All injuries must be reported to the First Aid Attendant immediately.

All injuries must also be reported to your Supervisor.

First Aid Attendants must complete all sections of the First Aid Treatment Record and will request your signature.

** If there is no First Aid Attendant available and you are injured, see the section titled "When there is no First Aid Attendant" below.

If your injury is minor (small cut requiring only band-aid or bruise or minor strain) and you will continue to work after reporting the injury, no other report is required. Do not complete a yellow Employee Incident Report Form and do not do an Accident Investigation.

If your injury is sufficiently serious that you require any other type of care (emergency visit, or intend to see physician, go to clinic, chiropractor, physiotherapist) or are unable to continue working, you must complete the yellow EMPLOYEE INCIDENT REPORT and an investigation of the incident must be undertaken without delay. You must confirm the need for a full incident report to your Supervisor who must initiate the investigation. In all cases where an investigation is required, management must be contacted. Report and investigation are to be completed as instructed on the Employee Incident Report form.

When there is no First Aid Attendant:

The following procedure applies to all elementary and most secondary schools as well as all special events, rentals and projects or assignments when there is no First Aid Attendant available.

All injuries must be reported immediately to your supervisor. If you are a Leadhand or if you are working alone, your supervisor is Harry Kumar, Phil Waack or Steve Smoroden. If you are working where there is a Leadhand on site, she/he is your supervisor.


If your injury is minor (small cut requiring only band-aid or bruise or minor strain) and you will continue to work after reporting the injury; your supervisor must complete a "Facility Services Minor Incident Report” form and fax it to the Facility Services Office at 604-946-2268. Since this report is completed in place of the First Aid Treatment Record, a worker cannot fill out his/her own report. Do not complete a yellow Employee Incident Report Form and do not do an Accident Investigation.

If your injury is sufficiently serious that you require any other type of care (emergency visit, or intend to see physician, go to clinic, chiropractor, physiotherapist) or are unable to continue working, you must complete the yellow EMPLOYEE INCIDENT REPORT and an investigation of the incident must be undertaken without delay. You must confirm the need for a full incident report to your supervisor who must initiate the investigation. In all cases where an investigation is required, management must be contacted. Report and investigation are to be completed as instructed on the Employee Incident Report form.

Delta School District OH&S Documents

The Employee Incident Reporting Process guide, and Facility Services Minor Incident Report, Employee Incident Report, Employer Incident Investigation Report and Physician’s Return to Work Recommendation forms appended hereto are to be used by employees when dealing with an incident or injury.

STEP 4 - READ AND FOLLOW CHEMICAL LABEL INSTRUCTIONS - REFER TO M.S.D.S. - PUT ON RUBBER GLOVES AND SAFETY GOGGLES - POUR FLOOR FINISH REQUIRED INTO A RINSED, CLEAN, DRY BUCKET OR

APPLICATOR. USE EYE AND HAND PROTECTION WHEN POURING - POUR ONLY ENOUGH FINISH INTO THE BUCKET THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO USE FOR

ONE COAT

STEP 5 - POST WET FLOOR/AREA CLOSED SIGNS IN VISIBLE LOCATIONS - CORDON AREA WITH BARRIER TAPE - WET THE MOP HEAD IN THE FINISH - WRING MOP HEAD OUT, SO THAT WHEN LIFTED, THE FINISHED DOES NOT DROP

FROM MOP HEAD - WRING OUT SLOWLY TO AVOID FOAMING OF FINISH - STARTING FROM THE FURTHEST CORNER OF THE AREA, AND STAYING A

MINIMUM OF 6” AWAY FROM BASEBOARD AND EDGES, APPLY A THIN COAT OF FINISH IN A CUT-IN PATTERN APPROXIMATLEY 6-9 FEET WIDE (SEE DIAGRAM)

- USING FIGURE 8 MOP STROKE APPLY THE FINISH TO THE AREA EVENLY - TURN MOP HEAD OFTEN AND RE-DIP IN FINISH WHEN MOP STARTS TO DRAG ON

SURFACE


- CUT IN ADJOINING SECTION AND CONTINUE AS ABOVE USING THIN COATS - YOU MUST CUT IN EACH SECTION BEFORE THE ADJOINING SECTION SETS. IF NOT,

THE ACTION OF THE MOP ON THE DRYING FINISH WILL STREAK THE FINISH - IF A WHITE FILM IS FORMED IMMEDIATELY AS THE FINISH IS APPLIED, THEN TOO

MUCH IS BEING PUT DOWN. MOP/PAD SHOULD BE WRUNG OUT

STEP 6 - ALLOW 40 MINUTES DRYING TIME BETWEEN COATS TO AVOID STREAKING - FLOOR MUST BE DRY TO THE TOUCH BEFORE SECOND COAT IS APPLIED (NOT

TACKY) - LAST COAT OF FINISH SHOULD BE APPLIED THIN AND WALL TO WALL - FOR LARGE AREAS, FINISH COATS SHOULD ALTERNATE DIRECTION - THE LAST COAT MUST BE LAID PERPENDICULAR TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT

STEP 7 - DISCARD UNUSED FINISH. CLEAN AND RINSE MOP, BUCKET WRINGER - RINSE CLEAN, COMB AND HANG MOP TO DRY - CLEAN AND RINSE ALL EQUIPMENT

NOTE: IN MOST AREAS THREE COATS OF FINISH SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO GIVE A GOOD OVERALL APPEARANCE.


• BEFORE APPLYING FLOOR FINISH TO ANY FLOOR SURFACE, THE FLOOR MUST BE WET SCRUBBED, NEUTRALIZED, AND RINSED. THE FLOOR MUST ALSO BE DRY.

• THE FLOOR SURFACE SHOULD ALSO BE ABOVE 50 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

• THE FLOOR FINISH SHOULD ALWAYS BE STORED IN A HEATED AREA. FREEZING WILL SPOIL THE FINISH, CAUSING IT TO SEPARATE.

• FINISH MOPS SHOULD BE SOAKED IN CLEAR, COOL WATER THEN WRUNG OUT.

• DAMP/DRY BEFORE STARTING.

• A FINISH MOP MUST NOT BE USED IF IT HAS BEEN CONTAMINATED. FLOOR FINISH WILL SPOIL IF CONTAMINATED AND MAY NOT BOND TO THE FLOOR SURFACE.

• FLOOR FINISH IS SIMILAR TO A LATEX PAINT. THE THINNER A COAT, THE QUICKER IT DRIES AND THE HARDER IT CURES. IF THE FINISH IS APPLIED TOO THIN, THE FINISH WILL FLASH DRY AND THE FLOOR SURFACE WILL STREAK.


• FLOOR FINISH REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 5 MINUTES TO LEVEL AND A MINIMUM OF 40 MINUTES TO SET. IF A SECOND COAT OF FINISH IS APPLIED BEFORE THE FIRST COAT IS SET, THE FINISH WILL STREAK BOTH COATS. TO REPAIR THE STREAKING, THE COATS MUST BE SCRUBBED OFF AND THE JOB STARTED AGAIN.

• WHERE POSSIBLE, LINO SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DRY FOR 12-24 HOURS BEFORE SEALING. BATTLESHIP LINO ABSORBS WATER AND SOLUTION INTO ITS PORES.

• SEALER WILL ADHERE BETTER TO THE FLOOR IF IT IS COMPLETELY DRY, NOT JUST SURFACE DRY. DO NOT APPLY FLOOR FINISH TO THE BASEBOARDS.

• ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND GOGGLES WHEN POURING FINISH.

• NEVER WALK OVER WET OR DRYING FINISH. YOU WILL LEAVE YOUR MARK IN A WAY YOU WILL NOT APPRECIATE. TO REMOVE FOOT MARKS, FLOOR WILL HAVE TO BE RESCRUBBED.


• FLOOR SURFACES WILL BE SLIPPERY WHEN WET. DO NOT WALK ON WET FINISH.

STANDARD PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT GERM SPREAD

There are important steps we should all take to prevent germs from spreading between people. Following these steps will help to protect others and ourselves when we come into contact with blood or body fluids.

It is not possible to tell if a person may be infected with HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or any number of other diseases. The best thing to do is treat the blood and body fluids of every person as potentially infectious. This includes all body fluids, except sweat.

Best Practices to Always Follow

Blood and Body Fluids: If you come into contact with blood and body fluids, always treat them as potentially infectious. Clean up spills promptly using absorbent material first, and then clean more thoroughly with a disinfectant like household bleach.

Gloves: Use clean, disposable gloves when handling any body fluids, or when cleaning cuts, scrapes or wounds. Wash hands after removing gloves, and dispose of the gloves in a plastic bag. Add gloves to your first aid kit so they are always ready.

Needle Stick Injuries: Wash the area with warm soapy water. Do not squeeze the wound or soak it in bleach. Go to the nearest health unit or hospital emergency department immediately for care.

Sharp Objects: Place needles and syringes in a safe container. Never re-cap, bend or break off used needles! Place them in a sealed puncture-proof metal or plastic container with a lid, such as an empty coffee tin, and then place in the garbage.

Personal Articles: Never share toothbrushes or razors. They can transmit small amounts of blood from one user to the next. Dispose of razors carefully. Handle bedding or clothing soiled with body fluids cautiously, and wash in hot soapy water.

Always Wash Hands:

• Before preparing food and after handling uncooked foods. • Before eating or smoking. • Before breastfeeding. • After toileting or diapering. • Before and after providing first aid. • After handling blood or body fluids. • Before and after providing care to an ill person.


Hand washing is the best way to prevent the spread of germs from one person to another. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 to 20 seconds. Waterless alcohol-based hand rinses can be used as long as hands aren’t heavily soiled.

Cover your Mouth when you cough or sneeze, and then wash your hands. Don’t pass your germs onto others.

Teach others, particularly children, about healthy behaviour and potential risks, and how to deal with them safely.

How Can You Keep Yourself Safe?

The guidelines outlined here are important to follow to keep yourself protected from germs. Blood or body fluids splashed on your skin are very unlikely to cause infection unless you have fresh cuts or raw chapped areas. If you are exposed to blood or other body fluids, protect yourself by wearing disposable gloves. If this is not possible, continue to help the person, and then wash immediately afterwards.

Remember, it is important to always wash your hands carefully after touching any body fluids, even if you have worn gloves.

How Can You Safely Clean Up Spills of Blood or Other Body Fluids?

1. Protect yourself by wearing disposable gloves or rubber work gloves. If there is a risk of splashing, use protective eye wear.

2. Use disposable absorbent material, such as paper towels, to remove most of the spill. Place these in a plastic bag and put in the garbage.

3. Wipe contaminated surfaces with a disinfectant solution. Use Oxidizing 14000 at dilution rate specified on the label. Soak mops or clothes used for cleaning in disinfectant for 20 minutes, or wash in hot water and detergent.

4. When you are finished, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water.

What Should You Do If You Find a Used Needle or Condom?

A needle that someone else has used may contain a small amount of his or her blood, which could carry HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus. Used condoms can also contain infectious body fluids.


Teach children to NEVER touch needles, syringes or condoms, and to tell an adult immediately if they have found one.

If you find a used syringes or condom in a school or playground, it is important to dispose of them promptly and carefully:

1. Use a pair of tongs or pliers, or a pair of study gloves, to pick up these items.

2. Discard condoms in a plastic bag.

3. Discard syringes or needles in a puncture-proof container, preferably one intended for such purposes. Any plastic or metal container with a lid, such as a coffee can, will also do. Do not place these containers in your recycling bin.

4. When you have finished, wash your hands carefully with soap and warm water. Contact the Facility Services Office at 604-946-5088 for disposal.

While the risk of infection from used condoms and syringes is very low, it is best to limit this risk as much as possible. It is important to help children understand how important these necessary precautions are.

What Should You Do If You Accidentally Prick Yourself with a Dirty Needle?

1. If possible, put the pricked area low to the ground to promote bleeding. Do not squeeze. Report to First Aid if available.

• Wash the area well with soap and water. • Do not soak the wound in germicide.

2. Go to the nearest local health unit or hospital emergency department immediately for care, or follow instructions of First Aid Attendant.

REMEMBER… ALL BLOOD AND BODY FLUIDS FROM ANY PERSON ARE POTENTIALLY INFECTIOUS.
