The NASA Glenn Research Center's Clean Team, established in 2005, focuses on creating healthy workplaces by addressing indoor environmental quality (IEQ) issues through collaborative efforts among logistics, facilities, and safety & health representatives. By implementing a Water Intrusion Response Team, the Clean Team ensures rapid response for water-damaged areas within 48 hours, promoting cost savings and a healthier environment. The GRC's electronic safety permit process enhances operational safety by providing an independent review of hazards, streamlining permit issuance, and improving overall workplace safety.

The GRC Clean Team - Best PracticeCreating Healthy Workplaces since 2005 • Established in 2005 in an effort to resolve issues related to Indoor Environmental Quality collaboratively with stakeholders • Clean Team Objectives: Healthy Workplaces and Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) • Membership includes representatives from Logistics, Facilities, and Safety & Health; weekly meetings ensure collaborative effort between three organizations • Creation of a Water Intrusion Response Team to provide rapid response so water affected areas are dried out within 48 hours, resulting in Cost $avings and a healthy environment!
The GRC Clean Team - Best PracticeCreating Healthy Workplaces since 2005 • Focus is on maintaining healthy workplaces • Resolution of IEQ concerns using a root cause analysis approach • Long-term approach to proactively maintain healthy workplaces through implementation of corrective actions into our procedures • Recipient of NASA Group Achievement Award in 2008 • NIOSH - impressed with Team’s technical abilities Your Title Here
Operational Safety - Best PracticeElectronic Area Safety Permit Process • GRC Safety Permit Process provides an independent review of Center operations and research testing activities • It evaluates operational and test-specific hazards and validates operator qualifications • Electronic safety permit process implemented to streamline the process after a Lean Six Sigma Kaizen event identified process improvement opportunities • Fully integrated process from initial request to final permit issuance
Operational Safety - Best PracticeElectronic Area Safety Permit Process • Web-based application with archiving capabilities to minimize loss of permit requests or supporting documentation. • Supporting documentation can be uploaded in MS Office or PDF formats • Multiple access capability allows simultaneous reviews • Search engine capability for permit status (where is my permit?) and to research similar permitted activities • Automatic renewal reminders, as appropriate
