Every October 2, custodians working in buildings around the world are recognized for their contributions to a clean, healthy environment. Their physically demanding jobs require them to work hard not only cleaning, but moving furniture, repairing the building (i.e. plumbing, drywall, electrical, lighting, painting, etc.), cleaning up human waste, vomit and blood and a host of other demands. Rarely do they get to sit down and rest.
Check out the information below found on nationaldaycalendar.com regarding today's recognition of custodial services.
Thanks goes to all custodians!

NATIONAL CUSTODIAL WORKER'S RECOGNITION DAY
On October 2, National Custodial Worker's Recognition Day encourages appreciation to the employees who keep our schools and workplaces across the nation running smoothly.
#CustodialWorkersRecognitionDay
Custodial workers operate behind the scenes. They are often under-appreciated for the hard work they do day after day, too. These are the personnel keeping schools, hospitals, office buildings, museums, churches, and other buildings clean and well maintained.
While delivering outstanding services and running a well-maintained building, they contribute to critical first impressions and the success of any business. They're the people we call on to give our brick and mortar businesses a polished look. The bank, schools, and office buildings look organized and presentable because custodial workers efficiently keep everything in top condition.
Additionally, their skill saves businesses and organizations money. Well-maintained carpets and surfaces last longer. Seasonal updates and maintenance help buildings to run more efficiently, too. Custodial workers make sure buildings are ready for each season and running correctly. As a result, the buildings are safer and healthier for those entering them. They also free-up time for the rest of the organization to focus on growing a business, teaching students, or caring for others.
The work is physically demanding. Depending on the position, custodial workers may work varying shifts and possibly in several locations. They may be part of a team or work independently. No matter where they work, this day recognizes their dedication and hard work.
HOW TO OBSERVE CUSTODIAL WORKER'S RECOGNITION DAY
We can all do our part to help custodians do their jobs. Keep our work stations neat. After a break, pick up after ourselves in the lunch/break room. We can even do some light dusting around our desks, office or cubicle. There is no reason to leave a mess for anyone else when we can simply do our part to help. If you know a custodial worker, THANK THEM today! Use #CustodialWorkersRecognitionDay to post on social media.
