o Report any health and safety concerns or incidents promptly to the appropriate personnel and participate in investigations and corrective actions as required.
5. Documentation and Reporting:
o Maintain accurate records of maintenance activities, equipment inventory, and performance metrics related to plumbing and fabric systems.
