Annual Comprehensive Fire Safety, Casualty Safety and Sanitation Report - By Jeb Bynum—Supervisor Environmental Health and Safety
One of the many roles of the Environmental Health & Safety Office is to provide the annual Comprehensive Fire Safety, Casual- ty Safety and Sanitation Inspection Report for all district owned and leased properties. The staff who perform this work stay current with specialized training and certifications.
The inspections are an ongoing year round process which includes the schools grounds and buildings. The inspection is performed un-announced to allow the inspector to observe operations and use of the build- ings.
EH&S deficiencies are categorized into 3 types: Operations of Plant “O”, Maintenance of Plant “M” or Capital Outlay “C”. School administration are given 7 days to correct “
O” items. Maintenance Department work order are created and labeled as “Safety-to- Life – R” for “M-type” deficiencies. Prioritiza- tion and plan of action addresses the “C” items using Capital Safety to Life funds (I.e. PECO). The inspection cycle falls in line with the district’s fiscal year and reported to the Board shortly there after.
The district has demonstrated a very high completion rate on “M-type” items each year due to the great support from the Plant Operation and Maintenance Staff.
It is the policy of
Brevard Public Schools to manage pest problems in ways that pose the least hazard to human health and the environ- ment. We have adopted an integrated pest management (IPM) program. IPM combines pest prevention, systematic monitoring of potential pests, non-chemical pest control methods, and if warranted, appropriate use of pesticides that are the least harmful to human health and the environ-
ment. By addressing and cor- recting the root causes of pest problems, IPM can provide long-term, economical pest control and provide a healthy environment for learning and working.
We are asking for your cooper- ation with our IPM program! The success of IPM depends primarily on keeping our school clean, dry, and well- maintained and everyone, especially occupants, custodial
staff, and Maintenance Work- ers are essential participants. For example, be aware that pest such as cockroaches and rodents can enter the building if the school doors are propped open for extended periods of time during certain maintenance operations. To- gether we can help reduce pest problems and pesticide applications.

Material control is a systematic control over the purchasing, storing and using of parts and materials to minimize the pos- sible cost that ensures that there are enough in stock or on order for the Maintenance Department to meet its ability to complete work orders in a timely manner.
It is also a systematic control over the amount of loss/ shrinkage of parts and materi- als at the time of receiving, storing and issuing the parts and materials.
Plant Operations and Mainte- nance Material Control is com-
prised of three different defini- tions.
Definition 1 - Material Con- trol refers to the various measures adopted to reduce the amount of loss
of materials at the time of re- ceiving, storing and issuing the parts and materials.
Definition 2 - Materials Control is a system for checking that a company has
enough materials in stock for its production needs, but is not storing more than it needs because this would use capital unnecessarily a system for
checking the quality
of materials bought by a com- pany.
Definition 3 - Material Control in Cost Accounting is a system- atic control over the purchas- ing storing and using of materi- al to minimizing the possible cost. In every manufacturing concern materials constitute an important factor of mainte- nance. It is an important ele- ment of cost & covering 60-70 percent of the total cost of the maintenance.
