It might be highly important, however, that cleaning be performed at night when the theatre has become infested with rodents or insects and it is desirable to dispose of all trash and waste food products on which they could feed. Cleaning immediately after the last show may minimize these nuisances. The cleaning staff may prefer to come in the night before a holiday so as to have more free time on the “big day.” Arrangements toward this end should be worked out well in advance so that all members of the staff are cognizant of the proposed changes. There are a few suggestions, as well as some rules, which might be set down in the form of a bulletin to be called to the attention of all members of the cleaning staff.

Accidents shall be reported immediately to Manager’s Office, where a detailed report will be filled out and medical care furnished as required. In severe case, Supervisor will see that the injured employee is transported to a hospital for emergency treatment, with routine report to follow as soon as possible thereafter. 8. Supervisor is responsible for proper dilution of cleaning solutions, disinfectants, etc., so that damage is not done to theatre property. He shall also see that equipment and supplies are issued to cleaning staff as needed, and that excessive quantities are not made available so as not to induce waste or pilfering. 9. Cleaners of rest rooms will carefully check to see that all tissue and paper towel containers are filled each day, and remove all discarded towels and trash. 10.
