Biohazard Clean-Up
Simply put, biohazards are biological materials—including
bodily fluids—that present a risk or potential risk of
exposing humans, animals or the environment to blood-borne pathogens.
Custodial staff are trained in the proper handling
of biohazard clean-up but are responsible only for
addressing spills that occur in shared public spaces.
Students discovering a spill of bodily fluids
in a public space, such as the bathroom or lounges, should not
attempt a clean up but immediately contact a Resident Assistant,
who will report the spill for clean up.
Students are required to clean up spills of
their own bodily fluids that occur in private rooms. Custodial
staff will assist only in extreme cases—such as severe
illness—and the resident student may be charged an additional
fee for this
service.
Snow
Removal
Custodial Staff members are responsible for keeping the buildings that Property
Management services free of snow and treated for ice within 10 feet of the
building. Property Management works closely with the office of Facilities
Management to keep the rest of campus clear of snow including the sidewalks,
roads and parking lots for the buildings serviced by Property Management.
University Park Snow Removal
- During and after a storm, the roads will
be plowed by large snowplows.
- Once main roads are cleared, walkways and
parking spaces will be plowed. Resident cooperation
is needed to move vehicles when plowing takes place.
- Vehicles may not be left in the road at
any time, as this will interfere with plowing. Any vehicles
left in the road may be towed at the owner’s expense.
- Vehicles not in use during the winter months
may not be left in University Park lots.
- Shoveling walkways outside each apartment
is the responsibility of residents
- If a resident discovers areas of the Park
that require sanding, please call the Maintenance Shop at 207-581-6903
or Public Safety at 207-581-4040, if after hours.
