Job Title: SANITATION EMPLOYEE

Department: Production

Reports To: Sanitation Supervisor

FLSA Status: Hourly, Non-Exempt

Salary Range: Sanitation Rate

Job Summary:

The
sanitation worker is a member of a cleaning crew whose duties are to clean and
sanitize food, beverage, and/or drug processing plants, which are operated by
the employer's customers, to meet Quality Control and Bacterial Standards
imposed by the customer and applicable governmental agencies, such as the USDA.

The
cleaning crew is required to completely clean and sanitize the plant quickly
and efficiently during relatively short time periods between the plant's normal
production shifts, which typically requires that the sanitation worker work
during late evenings/night/early mornings shifts (specific work shift to be
determined by the supervisor) and frequent overtime (weekends, days, evenings).

The
sanitation worker is required to work in an environment that is wet, very humid
and undergoes extreme temperature changes, from very hot to very cold. Due to
the changing environment, a worker must constantly be aware of the affects of
these changes. The sanitation worker will also be working around large
processing equipment in which chemicals will be used to complete the sanitation
process.

The
sanitation worker must be able to work as a team along with other members of
the crew, under stressful conditions and be flexible and willing to perform
varying tasks per the supervisor's instructions and in accordance with all safety
guidelines mandated by the employer.

Essential Functions:

· Frequently lift/move hoses,
equipment, chemical containers weighing 20-80 lbs. throughout each and every
work shift

· Must complete chemical
safety training.

· Assist in transporting heavy
equipment with forklifts or other devices.

· Wear employer-specified
protective gear, including three pairs of gloves, face/eye shields, aprons, and
boots, etc. (some of which to be supplied by employer).

· Exposure to chemical
cleaning solution (with protective gear)

· Perform varying tasks while
standing, lifting, crouching, etc. during long periods of time.

· Perform all tasks safely
and in a manner that will not create or pose a direct threat to the health
and/or safety of the sanitation worker or any other person.

NOTE: This job
specifications should not be construed to imply that these requirements are the
exclusive standards of the position. Incumbents will follow any other instructions, and perform any other
related duties, as may be required by their supervisor.

I have read the attached job description for this
position and I believe I can perform the essential functions of the position with or
without a reasonable accommodation.
