A.R.C., Incorporated
SAFETY DATA
SITE SAFETY MEETINGS: Once a month the Non Working supervisor will hold a brief informative
safety meeting with each crew working in city facilities. These meetings are either a recap of some of the
areas we really stress importance based on our industry, something directly related to time of year or a
current event, or a mixture of both. All employees are required to attend and sign an attendance sheet.
HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM
GENERAL
The purpose of the Hazard Communication program is to inform all employees as to their legal rights under
the rules of OSHA, to meet the training and documentation requirements under that act, and to meet the
objectives of COMPANY in providing the safest possible work environment for our employees.
The Hazard Communication program consists of these major categories and must be available upon
request:
• Written Program and Chemical Inventory
• Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
• Labeling System
• Employee Training
SAFETY DATA SHEETS
The intention of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) are to outline the characteristics, potential exposures and
precautions associated with hazardous materials used and is the responsibility of the manufacturer to
determine such.
It is the responsibility of the purchasing agent or person(s) ordering materials to request the safety data
sheets for ALL items ordered at ALL times. These SDSs must be provided by the vendor or manufacturer
either prior to receiving materials or to be included with the shipment.
If SDSs are sent to the job site, it is the responsibility of the recipient to see that the Safety Coordinator
receives a copy. However, if they have not been received, the recipient is to notify the Safety Coordinator
who will then request them from the vendor or manufacturer.
Each facility will have SDSs for all hazardous chemicals used in that facility and must be available upon
request to employees, contractors, medical providers, federal agencies, and others.
TRAINING AND DOCUMENTATION
All employees must be trained and knowledgeable with the Hazard Communication program. The training
may be done individually or with group sessions. Training must be documented.
Hazard Communication training must include:
• Details of this company’s Hazard Communication program
• How to locate, read, and understand SDSs
• A review of hazardous materials commonly used and their associated hazards
• Measures to take to be protected from these hazards
• Detection of released chemicals and actions to take
LABELING
Labels are designed to provide warning information to employees and others concerning the hazards of
chemicals such as health, fire, and reactivity. Therefore, it is important that no hazardous chemicals are
placed in an improperly labeled container.
All containers are to be labeled, except those intended for immediate use, and all manufacturer labels will
be left on the containers. The labels must be legible and in English.
At a minimum, each label should contain the following:
• Identification of the material in the container
• Appropriate hazard warnings
Labels should be checked while conducting job site inspections and any that are illegible, missing, or
incomplete should be replaced.
The Supervisor will strive to ensure that all hazardous chemicals on the job site are properly labeled and
will refer to the corresponding SDS to verify label information for portable containers, illegible, missing, or
incomplete labels by obtaining a label from the manufacturer or using the NFPA “Fire Diamond” labeling
system.
Item D --- Vendor Training Program
CREW MEMBER, TEAM LEAD TRAINING: A.R.C, Incorporated
prefers to use on the job training for all new hires. We do not discriminate
for new employees that have prior janitorial experience. ALL new
employees go thru our training program. Initial training typically takes 6-7
days of on the job training. The first day of employment the new employee
simply follows a working supervisor. The working supervisor shows the
employee how they are expected to clean every item in their buildings. The
supervisor starts to explain why we do certain things the way we do them,
i.e. Disinfectant dwell time, wiping restroom sinks before toilets, etc. The
second night the employee works side by side with the supervisor. They do
everything together this allows the supervisor to go a little more in depth of
our procedures. The third night the supervisor follows the employee around
and only watches and instructs. If the employee is ready on the fourth night
the supervisor will turn the new employee loose in their buildings. The
supervisor will be with the employee at the beginning of the building to
answer any questions. The supervisor will allow the employee to clean the
building in its entirety. When the employee is done the supervisor will
return to the building and walk all the areas the employee was responsible
with the employee. Corrections, suggestions, and instructions are given to
the employee at this time. This will go on as long as it needs to go to ensure
the new employee is fully confident in their job duties. All other additional
services to further our employees scope of work will be trained by the
appropriate team lead or supervisor. This includes floor and carpet services.
Here is a brief look at our training program.
All of our employees must go through a ten step training program that has
been developed by the owners. This program is designed to teach
employees the procedures that A.R.C., Incorporated wants to use to perform
the tasks that are required and to inform employees of the manner in which
they are expected to promote themselves and the company. Below is a list
of the ten step program and some examples of what is covered in each step.
1.Rest Room Cleaning 2. Hard Surface Floors
---Proper chemicals ---Sweeping and Wet Mopping
---Proper methods ---Using Automatic Scrubbers
---Safety first ---Disinfecting
3. Carpeted Floors 4. Trashing

9. Business Conduct 10. Building Security

MANAGEMENT TRAINING: The non working supervisor and working
supervisor assigned to the city buildings have been trained by either our
Area manager or President of the company. If they are new hires they will
be trained in depth the differences, if any, on all services we provide. They
will accompany our floor team, and carpet team to make sure they are
knowledgeable of our systems. They will also be trained by other
supervisors and/or managers on the nightly duties.
PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR: A.R.C., Incorporated makes every
attempt to employ professionals. During the hiring process we feel we can
weed out the majority of non professional candidates. However, we still
have some training for every new hire (#9 above). We also, employ a zero
tolerance policy for any behavior deemed unprofessional by our
management staff.

Item H – Floor Care Plan
INITIAL START UP
We would need to assess every location and assign a numeric number as to the
condition of the hard floors. We would use a 1-10 designation with a 1 being very good
and a 10 being immediate attention required. After we have determined which buildings
are in need of immediate attention, we would make a schedule and create work orders for
these buildings in the appropriate order. Buildings that score an 8-10 would be addresses
first with full intentions of completing all necessary work on these floors within the first
30 days. All buildings that score a 4-7 would be addressed next and would be completed
within 60 days of contract start up and all other buildings would be taken care within the
first 90 days of contract start up. Any high usage floors that require more periodic
service will still be scrubbed as needed during this initial protocol. If full strip and wax is
needed on floors it will be done within this initial time frame.
ON GOING MAINTENANCE
It is our proposal to machine scrub ceramic tile and scrub and recoat VCT floors at
minimum once a quarter. The higher usage areas will obviously need more attention than
that. We currently have two full time crews dedicated to doing just floors and carpets in
Northern Colorado. We can easily put the added work load on these two crews. Ideally
we would like to try to separate the quarterly scrubs of floors into 3 equal parts, done
over 3 months. But we would need to discuss with Larimer county personnel to finalize
our decision. All periodic floor work will be reported to Larimer County when the work
is completed.
EQUIPMENT
We currently have an array of floor equipment, that includes side by side floor
machines, high speed burnishers, propane burnishers, and the necessary accessories to
complete any floor job. We only use 25% solid floor finish on all finished floors. We
also have Powr-Flite and Sanitaire portable spotting extractors. Only supervisors,
assistant supervisors and trained floor crews are allowed to perform any carpet spotting.
