necessary repairs before the next semester. Sample tasks include painting classrooms,
installing new flooring, and replacing older furniture.
The primary focus for maintenance work orders is to address safety issues first. To this end,
the Safety/Risk Management Committee and Maintenance promote overall campus safety.
Despite shrinking funds, the college continues to address and correct safety and maintenance
concerns.
Our Maintenance Staff receives ongoing safety training through a contracted JPA source.
Staff members can access online training through http://www.safecolleges.com for their
training.

Descriptive Summary
The subcommittee of the Technology, Human Resources and Facilities Planning Committee
(III.B.10) meets twice a month to insure that construction and projects are operating
efficiently. This subcommittee assesses new construction and remodeling to meet current
needs. There is a periodic maintenance schedule for inspections and routine maintenance.
Facility evaluation is ongoing, including the active role of maintenance staff who perform
Preventative Maintenance (III.B.11) and custodial staff who clean the facilities. They are
trained and required to generate work orders. At the time the preventative maintenance work
order is performed, an evaluation is conducted concerning the extent of the work needed, and
a determination is made at that time if assets need to be repaired or replaced.
Hartnell uses a software package called Mpulse Maintenance, which catalogs maintenance
records and generates reports based on work orders and Preventative Maintenance. (III.B.11)
