Safety updates
by Nagy, Gabriela 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

Dear all, Please see below a few safety related updates that were made to the safety webpage of our School (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/AboutUs/Safety.html) 1. The revised Building Emergency Plan (BEP) for Forney was uploaded and is the first link under the "Emergency Preparedness" section. This is a PDF document, that can be printed and kept in the labs in the safety folders. The BEP is specific to our building and provides information related to our building and on emergency procedures in case of evacuation or shelter-in-place events. Please read this document. 2. Dow made publically available the "Dow Lab Safety Academy" (http://safety.dow.com/) in May. This is a digital learning environment that provides academic researchers with resources for laboratory safety, and shares Dow's outstanding industrial safety culture and practices in a quick and accessible format. Here you can access dozens of videos featuring lab safety guidelines, and a collection of useful safety resources. The link is posted on our website under the "Safety Resources" section; it is the last link. I know that many of you are already aware about the "Dow Lab Safety Academy", but I wanted to make everyone aware of this great source of safety training material. 3. There is an announcement in today's issue of "Purdue today", regarding the new locations for the "after hours" care for work related injuries. Please access this information via the link below: http://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/purduetoday/releases/2013/Q3/after-hours-car… Should you have any questions regarding the information in this email, please contact me.

by Varma, Arvind 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Dear Colleagues, I am delighted to inform that David Williams will join our School as the Senior Director of Development, effective August 12, 2013. In light of David's accomplishments and the high level of annual giving by our alumni, our position was upgraded to the Senior DoD level. Many of you may recall that David was a part of the Purdue Development team for nine years until his departure earlier this year. While at Purdue, he served as the Director of Advancement and Director of Development for the College of Engineering, as well as the Associate Director of Planned Giving and the UDO Communications Coordinator in Purdue Marketing Communications. David left Purdue earlier this year to become the Senior Major Gift Officer at the Riley Children's Foundation in Indianapolis. David brings a wealth of experience to our position. He has worked with our School's alumni and I for major fundraising projects in the past, and will be able to immediately make an impact within our School. Please join me in welcoming David back to Purdue and to our School! Best, Arvind Arvind Varma R. Games Slayter Distinguished Professor Jay and Cynthia Ihlenfeld Head of Chemical Engineering Purdue University Tel: 765-494-4075; Fax: 765-494-0805; Email: avarma(a)purdue.edu<mailto:avarma@purdue.edu> https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/People/ptProfile?id=11068

Second fire alarm today
by Nagy, Gabriela 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

Dear all, The fire alarm was once again activated today, around 4:10 pm. A water flow sensor in the sprinkler system on the third floor is malfunctioning; this caused the fire alarms to activate. The Fire Department will put a work order with the Physical Facilities to fix that water sprinkler today, so that we won't have false fire alarms caused by it anymore. It was good to see that everyone followed the emergency procedures and evacuated the building promptly, gathering around the "Awards Tower" in the Engineering Mall. Even though we don't like the fire alarms going off, we can consider this event as a good exercise to test the response of the people in our building in case of an emergency that requires evacuation. Thank you, Gabriela ________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director ChE Safety Committee Chair School of Chemical Engineering Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>
