[Bnc-facility-notice] New Safety Glass Policy

Dear Birck Users, Birck and Bindley are moving to an ANSI-compliant safety glasses policy in our labs. What this means is that prescription glasses that aren't ANSI Z87.1 compliant will no longer be allowed for work in Birck labs or the cleanroom. Either ANSI-compliant safety glasses currently supplied to labs or ANSI-compliant prescription glasses are required to be worn to enter the laboratory. Verbal warnings will be issued to non-compliant users until September 1, 2022 after which more formal action will be taken. Stephen Jurss Birck Safety Manager
