2 LAKE COUNTY SCHOOLS STANDARD OPERATION PROCEDURE Department: Risk Management Title: Procedure for Reporting Indoor Air Quality Concerns Purpose: School Board Policy 8.20 states the Board shall strive to provide well-maintained schools and facilities which are safe from hazards, are sanitary, and are properly equipped and adequately lighted and ventilated. The Superintendent or designee shall be responsible for maintenance and upkeep of school plants. The principal shall report, in writing, to the appropriate District-level department, any needed repairs to any buildings or the grounds. Any emergency repairs shall be reported to the Department by telephone and confirmed in writing. Procedure: 1. Student or staff member, i.e., the originator, identifies concern to a School Administrator. 2. The School Administrator should interview the parties involved to determine if obvious corrective actions can be taken to immediately resolve issue. 3. An Indoor Air Quality interview form should be completed and sent to the District IAQ Coordinator at Risk Management. 4. If further additional corrective actions are necessary, School Administrator will direct Head Custodian to assure that: a. Room has been thoroughly vacuumed and/or mopped b. HVAC vents have been cleaned c. Room has been thoroughly dusted d. Room is free of excess moisture, damp surfaces and there are no signs of mold or mildew growth. e. Room is free of bad odors or their sources 5. If IAQ issue cannot be eliminated within 3 working days, School Administrator will submit a School Dude Work Order under Indoor Air Quality Craft providing notice to District IAQ Coordinator. (Note School Administrator does have the discretion to notify IAQ Coordinator immediately if they believe conditions may present a health hazard to students or employees.). 6. IAQ Coordinator will complete a thorough assessment and take necessary corrective actions, documenting same in School Dude. Depending upon assessment, the following actions may be taken to resolve issue: a. Outside experts may be called in to complete a professional evaluation of the building envelope and building systems. b. More extensive and specialized cleaning may be required c. Professional air sampling may be required to assure students and employees are provided a safe environment. Special Notes: Authority or Resource: School Board policy
3 LAKE COUNTY SCHOOLS STANDARD OPERATION PROCEDURE Department: Maintenance Title: Procedure for removal of contaminated suspected mold materials Purpose: School Board Policy 8.20 states the Board shall strive to provide well-maintained schools and facilities which are safe from hazards, are sanitary, and are properly equipped and adequately lighted and ventilated. The Superintendent or designee shall be responsible for maintenance and upkeep of school plants. The principal shall report, in writing, to the appropriate District-level department, any needed repairs to any buildings or the grounds. Any emergency repairs shall be reported to the Department by telephone and confirmed in writing. Procedure: When removing any suspected contaminated material i.e.; ceiling tile, drywall, carpet/flooring, seal in plastic bags. Building materials and furnishings that are contaminated with suspected mold growth and are not salvageable should be double-bagged using 6-mil polyethylene sheeting. These materials can then usually be discarded as ordinary waste. It is important to package suspected mold contaminated materials in sealed bags before removal from the area to minimize the dispersion of mold spores throughout the building. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Skin Protection: Gloves are required to protect the skin from contact with suspected mold allergens (and in some cases suspected mold toxins) and from potentially irritating cleaning solutions. Long gloves that extend to the middle of the forearm are recommended. The glove material should be selected based on the type of materials being handled. If you are using a biocide (such as chlorine bleach) or a strong cleaning solution, you should select gloves made from natural rubber, neoprene, nitrile, polyurethane, or PVC. If you are using a mild detergent or plain water, ordinary household rubber gloves may be used. Eye Protection: To protect your eyes, use properly fitted goggles, goggles must be designed to prevent the entry of dust and small particles. Safety glasses or goggles with open vent holes are not acceptable. Respiratory Protection: Respirators protect cleanup workers from inhaling airborne suspected mold, mold spores, and dust. Minimum: When cleaning up a small area affected by mold, you should use an N-95 respirator. This device covers the nose and mouth and will filter out 95% of the particulates in the air. The District IAQ Coordinator should be consulted prior to cleaning up of any area larger than ten (10) sq. ft... Special Notes: Authority or Resource: School Board policy
