Work Order Assignment Types

Assignment of Work Orders: Types and Priorities

Most work requests are fairly straightforward in terms of how they are classified and prioritized. Occasionally, an unusual request or situation might require some flexibility or exception to routine processing. If this is the case, Work Control Center representatives will attempt to obtain additional information from the initiator of the request. Requests will receive priority attention based on health and safety concerns and the overall mission of the university.

If the situation is hazardous to life, health, and property, call the Work Control Center at (310) 243-3587 or 3804.

If the emergency occurs before or after Facilities Services' normal business hours, please call University Policy at (310) 243-3639.

Requests for routine work can be called or faxed in to the Work Control Center. The requesting department is usually not charged for these services.
