Facility Anti-Slip and Flooring Maintenance Checklist

Regular maintenance of an operation is an essential and time-consuming aspect of a facility manager’s responsibilities. The amount of upkeep can be overwhelming, and tasks must protect the occupants, the equipment and the building itself.

To stay on top of the daily maintenance and the preventative measures that might be less frequent, managers should have a documented checklist to prevent overlooking an area of the building.  

Facility managers and maintenance staff can use the following checklist to supplement an existing maintenance routine. Organized by operation area, we suggest that you regularly inspect the condition of your building envelope, machinery and safety procedures.
