Morning facility inspection — an 8-step procedure
- Every morning before classes, check one randomly chosen zone against the checklist (in rotation: Monday toilets, Tuesday classrooms, Wednesday corridors, etc.) — tick YES/NO.
- Touchpoint test: wipe a stair handrail, a classroom door handle and a flush button with a white cloth — a grey mark means disinfection is being skipped.
- Check the dispensers in every toilet along your walkthrough route: soap, paper, towels — log any shortages with the room number.
- In the preschool: check the state of the toys (damp from disinfectant = done at the last minute), the cot bedding and the cleanliness of the children's tables.
- Once a week, cross-check the toilet inspection card and the food-service log against the schedule — entries without times and signatures count as missing entries.
- Once a month, walk the periodic zones: wall panelling, ventilation grilles, lamps, basements — they are what separates a systematic service from an ad-hoc one.
- Document faults with a dated photo and an entry in the inspection log; set a deadline for correction and re-check once it passes.
- Before a Sanepid (sanitary inspection) visit, verify the full document set: hygiene plan, logs, safety data sheets for chemicals, pest-control (DDD) and laundry reports.
