Custodial Standards for the University Libraries
Coordinate Custodial Issues
FOM is responsible for understanding and communicating to all building occupants the custodial service standards.
All custodial problems are to be reported to your FOM building manager. FOM is the principle contact with the FM Custodial Supervisors.
FOM serves as an advocate with University Facilities Management to request improvements to custodial support.
| ► Notify your Facilities Manager with problems or questions about custodial issues. | |||||||
| ►Contact your Facilities Manager immediately for cleaning issues which can't wait for the night custodian. | |||||||
| For example: spills, lights buzzing, restrooms accidents. | |||||||
| During the winter months, custodial staff must first shovel snow off the steps | |||||||
| and/or 10 feet from the front doors of their assigned buildings. | |||||||
| The shaded area indicates the function to be performed in each area. | |||||||
