All university owned, rented, or leased buildings are required to be inspected at
least quarterly. Building Inspection Coordinators are responsible for ensuring that inspections are conducted in their assigned buildings.
Problems & issues identified during the inspections should be corrected by the personnel
performing the inspection if possible. Some issues require professional assistance
to be corrected, but many simple issues can be corrected by the Building Inspection
Coordinator and other occupants of the building. All identified hazards should be entered for repairs into the Physical Plant's FIXX
system at fixx.ulm.edu. The work order numbers should be noted on the inspection sheets for tracking.
When performing an inspection talk to the occupants of the building. They may have
noticed safety hazards that the Building Inspection Coordinator did not identify.
For issues that pose an imminent threat to building occupants, please report these
directly to the Environmental Health & Safety Officer by telephone at 342-5177.
The EHS department has developed a standard building inspection form to be used when
conducting the inspections:
Once the inspection is complete, review the building inspection form for accuracy.
Be sure the form is signed. Keep a copy of the form and send a copy to the Environmental
Health & Safety Office.
Quarterly building inspection forms are due on the Friday of the first full week of
these months:
1st Quarter - February
2nd Quarter - May
3rd Quarter - August
4th Quarter - November
