Readings not within acceptable standards will result in the creation of a work order, requesting maintenance to address. (Readings are noted on the attached test data sheet) e.
Occupied space readings of carbon monoxide (CO) levels are less than 9.0 PPM.
Outdoor Air CO Reading: 0 All Days
Highest CO Location: All Rooms Reading: 0
Lowest CO Location: Reading:
If the CO level is greater than 9.0 PPM in any space as measured with a handheld device or “leave-in” monitor, the space must be cleared of all occupants and steps taken to correct the problem. The issue will be immediately addressed by maintenance and the Fire Department. (Readings are noted on the attached test data sheet) f.
CO2 levels in any occupied space are below threshold limits. i.
Perform CO2 check with Gray Wolf or other portable device. Measure four times yearly or more often if needed. Measure only in fully occupied rooms. Reading should be less than 700 PPM plus outside air CO2 PPM.
700 PPM + 385; 423; 380 PPM = 1085; 1123; 1080 PPM
Assume outside CO2 is 350 if temperature is below 41 degrees and air is not stagnant with no- wind.
Record all occupied space CO2 levels on forms provided. Provide the outdoor CO2 level as well as the high and low CO2 extremes below:
Outdoor reading: 385; 423; 380 PPM
Highest CO2 reading – Location: 315; Conf Room; 202A ; Reading of 1084; 623; 677 PPM

Discard porous items such as ceiling tiles if wet for more than 24 hours. For carpeting, if less than 9 square feet of wet area, shampoo with germicide and fan dry. For areas greater than 9 square feet, replace carpet with tile in reasonable timeframe. If carpet is over ACM tile, replace during next unoccupied break time (winter break, spring break, summer).

Other a.
Paint
No peeling and/or flaking paint found.
If planned building renovation will damage paint or if peeling paint is discovered, lead testing may be necessary.

Lead Paint Renovator) to test the paint for lead. Lead paint was discontinued in 1978. Buildings built after 1978 are exempt from lead paint testing.
If lead is present, required repairs should be done immediately using lead-safe methods and, if necessary, a licensed lead contractor.
