Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requires effective distribution around campus. Building Managers will periodically receive a list of items and quantities that need to move from one location to another at a specific date, within their areas of responsibility. Several forms have been built in ServiceNow to support the role of Building Managers in the distribution process. To better understand how and when to use these forms, it is helpful to be know some basic concepts.
A PPE Kit is a collection of PPE products that need to be distributed from one point on campus to another. Each kit has a specific origination, destination, and preferred delivery date/time. All items listed in a kit remain together until the kit reaches its destination.
The process of moving a PPE Kit has three general steps:
- Kit Preparation: When a Building Manager receives a list of items and quantities to be delivered, the first step is to prepare the “Kit.” This includes gathering the products and quantities listed and making any appropriate substitutions if necessary.
- Kit Distribution: Once a kit is prepared, it needs to be physically transported to the prescribed destination.
- Kit Receiving: This step is required when a Building Manager is expecting a PPE Kit from Environmental Health and Safety (EHS). This allows the Building Manager to confirm that they received exactly what was expected in the Kit.
Below are links to instructions for these tasks that Building Managers (or those working in that capacity) may need to perform.
