Preventive Maintenance Checklist

Guidelines

Attached is a Preventive Maintenance Checklist that is geared towards assisting the Facility Maintenance and Administrative Personnel
in ensuring the buildings are being maintained and deficiencies are identified as quickly as possible so that the repair/ corrective action
can be initiated and completed in a timely fashion.

This document is broken out into several different tabs identifying the primary items that must be checked, the basics of how to check
them, and the frequency the item is to be checked. This is not an all-inclusive list and is meant to be a guide only.

As each item is completed, the person responsible will initial and date the item on the spreadsheet.

This spreadsheet is to be maintained in the office of the maintenance personnel (or facility administrator) and available for review by our
monitors, and/or Department personnel upon visitation to the facility.

For assistance, please contact your regional General Services Liaison as follows:
Northwest: Kelvin Sanders (850) 487-0538
Northeast: Andrew Snead (904) 219-9412
Central: Robert Holland (863) 534-0234
South: Gale Porter (561) 681-6322
