MSDS Books for ChE Laboratories
by Davis, Linda S 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

ChE Faculty, Staff and Graduate Students, The requirement of one MSDS book per lab has been raised in our safety audits and inspections. Going ahead, we will require one MSDS book for a group of labs where the labs are located on the same floor and in the same wing of Forney. If your labs do not meet this requirement, you will need to have a MSDS book in each lab. The door posting on each lab should indicate where the common MSDS book is located. The MSDS books are a critical way that we inform researchers and emergency personnel of the materials, both hazardous and non-hazardous, that are in use in our laboratories. Our efforts should be focused on maintaining complete, up-to-date and accessible MSDS books. As reminder, MSDS books are an OSHA requirement that we must adhere to. Please contact me if you have any questions on this policy. Thank you. Linda Linda S. Davis Industrial Education Director Chair, ChE Safety Committee (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/AboutUs/Safety.html) School of Chemical Engineering Purdue University 480 Stadium Mall Dr. West Lafayette, IN 47907-2100 Phone: (765)496-1710 lsdavis(a)purdue.edu

Printing Reduction - amazing accomplishment
by Farmus, Cristina D 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Dear Faculty, Staff and Students, During the fall 2009 semester, 313,791 impressions were printed in the three computer labs in Forney Hall. During the fall 2010 semester, $160,305 impressions were printed, for a total savings of 153,486 impressions. Due to the implementation of the automatic doublesided printing and the printing quota, we estimate that only during one semester we saved between 30 and 45 cases of paper, which translates to savings of $1,500 in toner, $1,000 to $1,400 in paper, not to mention between 18 and 27 trees. I personally thank you for better managing the printing process to accomplish this wonderful result!

Laboratory and Office Safety
by Davis, Linda S 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

ChE Faculty, Staff and Graduate Students, I want to share a frank article on the status of laboratory safety in academic labs (attached). Whether you agree or disagree with the article, we all have a responsibility to ensure that everyone working in chemical engineering goes home in the same condition that they arrived every day. Our goal should be no accidents, no injuries and no releases/spills in chemical engineering laboratories and offices during 2011. Thank you for your leadership and commitment to safety.
