Matlab 2012 / 2013 issue today.
by Harrington, Michael P 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Hi, Earlier today ECN accidently pushed a software package before it was ready that was designed to update Matlab from 2012a to 2013a on Windows 7 deployed machines. The first step was to removed 2012a which it did very well. The second step was to install 2013a which didn't work as expected (as I said the 'push' was an accident). They have been working today to come up with a solution and are most likely going to re-push 2013a to all affected machines (Most if not all Windows 7 machines). That's what I know as of a few minutes ago. I don't know if it will happen tonight or tomorrow, only that they are working on it. When I have additional information I will share it with you. -Mike Harrington ******************** Mike Harrington Computer Facilities Manager Chemical Engineering Purdue University 765-494-6428 mph(a)purdue.edu

FW: EPA inspection
by Varma, Arvind 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Dear All, Pl read the message below - Congratulations to us all! I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your attention to safety in Forney Hall and to Gabriela Nagy and the Safety Committee for leadership in this important area. With best wishes, Arvind Varma R. Games Slayter Distinguished Professor Jay and Cynthia Ihlenfeld Head of Chemical Engineering Purdue University From: Krajicek, Adam R Sent: Monday, August 26, 2013 8:44 AM To: Nagy, Gabriela Cc: Varma, Arvind Subject: EPA inspection Gabriela, Last Thursday the EPA was on campus to conduct a hazardous waste inspection. The inspector typically randomly selects a few buildings/labs on campus to inspect, but this year they let me choose the locations, which puts the pressure on me to select the right locations! Forney was the first building that I selected for inspection. The EPA inspected the following rooms: FRNY 3140, 3151, 3182, 3184, and 3190. I am happy to report that there were no violations. The inspector commented on how good everything looked and he was impressed by the waste collection system that he saw. I'd like to thank the Chemical Engineering Department for their continued commitment to safety and compliance. Adam R.

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.
