To evaluate your training curriculum for cleaning personnel, find out what trainings the personnel currently attend (your vendor or the management may have records of the trainings).
To evaluate your methods for handling and storing cleaning chemicals, ask the personnel in charge about their current practices. If you find that some of these existing practices can be improved, work with management to alter their practices.
To evaluate your strategies for promoting hand hygiene, determine whether your soaps currently contain antimicrobial agents (other than as a preservative). If they do contain anti-microbial agents, work with your supplier to identify a hand soap that does not contain antimicrobial agents. Other strategies include educating staff about proper hand cleaning and providing occupants with hand sanitizers.
To evaluate your strategies for using chemical concentrates and dilution systems, work with the management of the cleaning program to determine whether they use such systems. If they don’t, work with them to identify opportunities for using chemical concentrates and work with suppliers to bring in several options for a trial run before you commit to a single system.
To evaluate your standard operating procedures, obtain a copy of the current procedures and review them. If you’ve never formalized your procedures, consider ways that you might minimize toxic chemical applications and the use of energy-intensive equipment.
Evaluate your project building's current cleaning-related practices, procedures, and methods. You will need to work with the various managers responsible for individual components of the cleaning program in order to evaluate the following.
To write a program that will work for your building, take stock of what you already have implemented and identify where you will need to improve or change your practices to meet the requirements.
