FACILITIES MANAGEMENT WORK PRIORITY SYSTEM
I. EMERGENCY
Work required to prevent the loss of life, injury to personnel,
impairment of health, serious damage or loss of property or
experiments.
Example: Electrical motor sparking or overheating, broken water
or gas lines, chlorine line leaking toxic gas, light
circuit failure during a lecture. (Normally an Emergency
Work Order entails shutting down, "valving off" or
providing an alternate service, but does not include
repair.)
II. PRIORITY
Mission essential. Work required to avoid stoppage of mission, work
in progress, or loss of educational time, and preventive maintenance
requirements.
Example: Repair of sea water service to Marine Lab, correction of
exhaust system in Chemistry, restoration of chilled air
for a computer room, correction of a utility system
which has failed.
III. ROUTINE
Direct support. Work which will render significant aid and
improvement to the mission, but the lack of which will not prevent
accomplishment.
Example: Alterations, modifications and repair to existing
facilities--new partitions, relocation of doors and
relamping.
IV. DEFERRED
Work which is necessary but does not qualify for a higher priority.
Example: Minor repairs, painting, lighting modifications, and
additional custodial services.
