800.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The Santa Ana Police Department has established a plan to promote and comply with the
environmental safety and sanitation requirements established by applicable laws, ordinances and
regulations. This policy establishes a plan of housekeeping tasks and inspections required to
identify and correct unsanitary or unsafe conditions or work practices in this facility.
800.2 POLICY
It is the policy of the Department to maintain a safe and sanitary facility. To accomplish this goal,
the Department will maintain a written plan that contains schedules and procedures for conducting
weekly and monthly sanitation inspections of the facility.
800.3 RESPONSIBILITIES
The Jail Administrator shall develop written policies and procedures for the maintenance of an
acceptable level of cleanliness, repair and safety throughout the facility. Such a plan shall provide
for a regular schedule of housekeeping tasks and inspections to identify and correct unsanitary
or unsafe conditions or work practices which may be found.
Consideration should be given to general job descriptions and/or limitations relating to personnel
or incarcerated persons assigned to carrying out the plan. Specialized tasks, such as changing air
filters and cleaning ducts or facility pest control, shall not be completed by incarcerated persons.
Incarcerated persons engaged in sanitation duties shall do so only under the direct supervision
of qualified custody staff. When incarcerated work crews are used, additional controls should be
implemented to account for all equipment and cleaning materials.
All staff shall report any unsanitary or unsafe conditions to a supervisor. Staff shall report repairs
needed to the physical plant and to equipment by submitting a work order to a supervisor. Shift
Supervisors will conduct cleaning inspections on a daily basis. The Jail Administrator or the
authorized designee will conduct weekly safety and sanitation inspections of the facility.
800.4 WORK ORDERS
All reports of unsafe or unsanitary conditions, as well as repairs needed to the physical plant
and equipment, shall be documented in a work order. The Jail Administrator will designate a staff
person to receive these work orders and take appropriate action to ensure the repairs are made
or action is taken. All work and action taken will also be documented.
800.5 SAFETY DATA SHEETS
Materials and substances used in the operation and maintenance of the facility may qualify as
hazardous material. Hazardous material is required to have a companion Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) that is provided by the manufacturer or distributor of the material. The SDS provides

Supervisors shall review SDS information in their work areas semiannually to determine if the
information is current and that appropriate training has been completed. Upon review, a copy of the
SDS file and all logs shall be forwarded to the Maintenance Supervisor or the authorized designee.
800.5.3 SDS RECORDS MASTER INDEX
The Maintenance Supervisor or the authorized designee will compile a master index of all
hazardous materials in the facility, including locations, along with a master file of SDS information.

department. Documentation of the semiannual reviews will be maintained in the SDS master file.
