Chi-Ada Corporation has established standard operating procedures that address how an effective cleaning and hard floor and carpet maintenance system will be consistently utilized, managed, and audited to protect vulnerable building occupants. In situations where cleaning operations can potentially adversely affect any identified members of a vulnerable population: Daily cleaning activities will be scheduled appropriately to avoid exposure of vulnerable populations to the cleaning process. Alternative cleaning practices will be adopted to minimize or make unnecessary the use of cleaning chemicals. Cleaning chemicals will be used in areas only where sufficient ventilation is present to allow chemicals to dissipate before the area becomes repopulated. Additional ventilation will be provided through the use of blowers to enhance the rate of chemical dissipation. Cleaning operations will be conducted to prevent the transfer of impacts to other areas of the building that may contain vulnerable populations. Chi-Ada Corporation promotes hand hygiene by ensuring that the property's soap and towel dispensers are checked each day and filled as needed. Chi-Ada Corporation has guidelines addressing the safe handling and storage of cleaning products used in the building by storing products in a clean, cool, dry space. Some cleaning chemicals can have hazardous reactions when they experience extreme temperature fluctuations or high humidity levels. Store in well-ventilated areas, away from HVAC intake vents. This helps prevent any fumes from spreading to other areas of the facility. Store no higher than eye level and never on the top shelf of a storage area. Do not overcrowd shelves, and include anti-roll lips to avoid falling containers. Chi-Ada does not store cleaning chemicals on the floor, even temporarily. If there is a hazardous spill or mishap, the following steps should be taken: Identify the spilled. Materials oozing from marked containers are easy to identify if a worker has been injured, notify the building manager and call 911 if needed. Contain the spill to keep the spill from spreading; place dikes around the edges of the spill. Turn off spouts or valves depending on where the spill is coming from. Clean up the spill by making sure the spill is stopped at the source. Use mops, shop towels, mats, and other absorbent items to mop up small spills. Decontaminate the spill site. Thoroughly clean the entire area. Finish by cleaning the tools and equipment used to clean up the spill. Report the spill if needed. Chi-Ada Corporation has a training program to train personnel on the needs of the building. This program is provided as a separate document. It addresses the training of personnel in the hazards, use, maintenance, disposal and recycling of cleaning products, dispensing equipment, and packaging. Staff are trained to spray the cleaning product onto the rag, not the equipment/surface. Chi-Ada Corporation uses a staffing plan that facilitates compliance with the contract specifications and includes positions such as Project Manager, Assistant Project Manager, Quality Control Manager, Supervisor, and Janitor. If Quality Control Inspections reveal deficiencies with a property's cleanliness, the property's staffing plan is reassessed and altered to bring the property back into compliance with the contract specifications.
