preparing surfaces for painting using sandpaper, power sanders, steel wool, wire brushes, scrappers, paint removers and chemicals, filling nail holes, cracks, or joints with putty, plaster or other fillers, apply paints, stains, varnishes, enamel, or lacquer using paint brushes, rollers, and/or sprayers, and recommend the use of additional departmental personnel or contract personnel (as appropriate) to meet assigned completion targets.

Protect University property and equipment from damage during

painting work by removing furniture, wall fixtures, and equipment from work sites if possible or covering immoveable items with protective cloths, cover floors with cloths or tarpaulins, tape woodwork, facings, and decorative trims, and erect safe scaffolding in a manner that prevents damage.

Restore painting work sites to their original condition at the

completion of work by removing scaffolding, painting cloths, tarpaulins, and masking tape used during the project, return furniture and equipment to their proper location, set up equipment that had been dismantled, and clean any paint splatters from surfaces, furniture or equipment.

Assist with documenting the cost of painting work by keeping

accurate daily timesheets and work order records of time and materials to be charged to each job.

Provide periodic status reports on work projects, material consumed,

and man-hours utilized.

Practice preventive maintenance of painting tools and equipment by

performing spot checks of equipment to determine their working condition, oil moving parts, clean and service tools and equipment as directed or specified in the operator\'s manual and returning damaged tools and equipment for repair or replacement.

Provide technical assistance in the purchase of new or replacement

paint shop tools and equipment by being knowledgeable of the capabilities of various @types of equipment and recommending the purchase of painting tools and equipment that meet the needs of the paint shop.

Reduce the likelihood of liability regarding the University\'s

compliance with federal regulations by compliance with policies, laws, and regulations governing environmental protection, safety, hazardous waste disposal, and the use of chemical substances and materials common to painting.

Contribute to an accident-free work environment by complying with

operator\'s instructions for the use of power sprayers and tools, wearing protective equipment such as filter respirators, goggles, hearing protectors, back supports, and work gloves, reporting incidents of unsafe work activity to supervisors, and following standard safety precautions during work.
