EBOM-2009 IEQc3.1:Green Cleaning—High-Performance Cleaning Program

generic / standard values for staff cleaning time & training

The LEED language is pretty vague on requirements for staff cleaning hours & training time, so we understand that it should be developed on a case by case basis per building/circumstances, but is there any guidance/rule of thumb for setting total staff cleaning time under typical conditions, as well as the annual training hours? We have a client that is trying to put generic language in a corporate cleaning manual that will cover a portfolio of many different buildings. Any help/guidance determining some generic or standard values is appreciated. Thanks!

I recommend stating that all maintenance staff will receive regular training. Set a minimum number of training hours annually that each employee should receive. Also, specify the topics that will be reviewed (hazards of use, disposal, and recycling of cleaning chemicals, dispensing equipment, and packaging). Include the subjects and frequency of the training sessions within your plan.
