Study Notes
Review Process
- FM Handbooks and policies must be reviewed by local program managers and unit leadership to ensure consistency in procedures.
- This review process provides support for the section that created the policy or procedure.
Energy Conservation and Usage
- AFMAN 32-1061 mandates FMs support compliance with energy policy directives.
- FMPMs should disseminate energy conservation tips, utility outage notices, and updates to installation FMs, with help from the Installation Energy Manager.
- Consider adding a calendar in the repository for easy access to outages and energy-saving tips.
Facility Visits
- Establishing facility visit teams (1219 or SMART teams) helps maintain AF facilities.
- These teams can identify potential issues before they escalate, reduce emergency calls, and improve customer feedback.
- It is advisable to focus visits on high-maintenance facilities such as dormitories if full installation visits are not feasible.
Environmental Considerations
- FMs serve as focal points for environmental awareness and protection within facilities.
- Key hazards include Asbestos Containing Material (ACM), Radon, Lead-Based Paint (LBP), and mold.
- Important materials in the FM continuity book include: FM Appointment Letter, training slides, service request logs, safety inspections, and known hazards.
Real Property Management
- FMs act as points of contact for real property issues and must ensure facilities are used for their designated purposes.
- Facilities are categorized by the Real Property Categorization System (RPCS) using 6-digit Category Codes (CATCODES).
- Accurate CATCODES are essential for facility funding, coding compliance, and mission relevance.
Energy Conservation Awareness
- FMs should promote energy conservation practices within their facilities, leveraging knowledge of unique situations to suggest improvements.
- Collaboration with the installation Energy Manager is crucial for effective energy management.
Reserved Parking
- FMs manage reserved parking regulations, adhering to Army Regulation (AR) 190-5, UFC 3-120-01, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Reserved parking is minimized for operational security, using generic names or office symbols instead of individual titles.
Emergency Management
- FMs must be well-versed in Emergency Management (EM) procedures per AFI 10-2501.
- Collaboration with EM representatives is necessary to create Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) and implement shelter-in-place protocols.
Generator Maintenance
- Although CE performs generator maintenance, FMs can arrange training for facility occupants regarding generator responsibilities.
- FMs might have additional duties related to generators and hazardous waste management.
CE Services
- FMs serve as the central contact point for CE service requests, completing the entire request process from validation to tracking.
- Regular service request notifications may be displayed at facility entrances, emphasizing the FM's essential role.
Facility Inspections
- FMs are required to conduct monthly walkthrough inspections to identify repair needs and safety concerns.
- Inspections focus on unapproved work, maintenance abuses, and energy efficiency improvements, excluding unsafe areas like roofs and confined spaces.
- Unapproved work must be reported as Facility Abuse through a Report of Survey (RoS) per DoD guidelines.
