Project Description
Project Description:
​
I was tasked with compiling important safety protocol and maintenance-related forms and combining them into one easy-to-understand handbook. This will allow future Highgate maintenance staff to be able to find necessary documents quickly without having to search for them.

Brainstormed information that needed to be compiled.
-
Consulted with my supervisor to assess his needs for the project.
-
Sought out the various locations of the required documents.
-
Print out digital documents on high-quality materials to create "masters"
-
Copy physical documents on high-quality materials to create more durable "masters"
-
Create any documents that had I was unable to locate or that did not yet exist. For this I used Excel. Again printing on high-quality materials to create "masters"
-
-
Compile all documents and organize them into categories i.e. safety protocol, maintenance protocol, and regularly used forms.
-
Organize the categories alphabetically for easy access.
-
Create a title page and table of contents for the book.
-
Consult with my supervisor a final time to verify all relevant documents are established.
-
Bind the materials and submit to my supervisor.
Project Objectives:​
-
Create and establish a physical location for all important maintenance and safety information.
-
Create and establish a physical location for all forms that need to be filled out on a regular basis.
-
Enable future maintenance employees to better understand both the work they should be doing daily/monthly/annually and what to do in emergency situations.
