The custodial department at Wake Forest took home two awards from the national OS1 Symposium held in New Orleans on Aug. 6. The Simon Institute, a nonprofit organization that supports the cleaning industry, awarded Best Cleaning Quality Improvement and Certification Program to the Wake Forest team.
The awards come in the third year of Wake Forest’s transition to a new cleaning management system called OS1, which provides a higher level of cleanliness and better accountability in cleaning buildings. About half the University has transitioned to this system, including most of the academic buildings.

Please congratulate:

• Susie Hardwick
• Charles Nicholson
• Ederman Palaez de Herrera
• Gary Samuels
• Michael Woodard

Custodians recognized for new cleaning program
Frank Thomas, director of Custodial Services; T.P. King, custodial trainer; Evelyn Frazier, Calloway/Greene team leader; Jim Alty, assistant vice president of Facilities & Campus Services; and Matthew Lawrence, third shift manager; receive the ‘Rookie of the Year' cleaning-program award.
A new method of cleaning campus buildings has earned Wake Forest an award for best new cleaning program from an industry group, which also recognized eight custodians for their outstanding work.
The University began implementing the “Operating System I” (OS1) approach to cleaning campus buildings last fall, starting in the Calloway Center and later, Greene Hall. The successful implementation of those new cleaning methods and procedures won the University the “Rookie of the Year” program award this summer from ManageMen, which developed the OS1 cleaning approach and provides training to universities and businesses.
