ABSTRACT:
Campus maintenance workers perform a precious service to their communities and are concerned with various responsibilities throughout the sanitation value chain. Campus maintenance workers in educational institutions carry out routine upkeep activities and heavy cleansing responsibilities. People give high importance to hygiene and cleanliness, but they forget that there is a person behind it. This research aims to identify the working conditions of the Campus maintenance workers in Stella Maris college in terms of work activities, health, safety and wellbeing, working time, their opinion about the student’s participation in the cleanliness of the campus and to bring out the worker's needs, expectations and gratification towards the institution and the welfare measures taken by the institution. This study also aims to expose student’s opinions about sanitation and the workers within this educational institution and to discuss the reasons for littering the campus. Interview method of data collection is used in this research. The results showed that the campus maintenance workers are socially secured, benefited by the facilities provided by the institution and they are content with their job and this institution but the student’s behaviour in littering the campus needs to be addressed.
