Addition RO supply - Hot water discolored
by Valley, Jeffrey L 30 May '12

30 May '12

The supply of RO water to the addition is experiencing problems as most of you know. If the volume of water in the holding tank drops below a certain level, the pump will automatically shut down to allow the tank to refill. It currently is having trouble making water as it should so the system is taking much longer than expected. The plumbers are working to restore it to normal operation. The plumbers are also checking on the hot water being discolored. Letting the tap run for a few minutes will flush the line clean hopefully and they will resolve the issue. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks. Jeff Valley

Chemical Engineering Safety Indemnification - 2012
by Davis, Linda S 29 May '12

29 May '12

Colleagues, It is time to complete the annual safety review of the chemical engineering laboratories and offices. These reviews are part of our Integrated Safety Plan and are required to obtain our annual indemnification with the University. The timeline for 2012 is as follows: * May - self audits of laboratories and offices * June - Safety Committee inspections of laboratories and offices * May - July - address deficiencies identified in self audits and inspections * August - Indemnification Review with REM Self Audits The ISP Self-Audit<http://www.purdue.edu/rem/home/forms/ispcheck.pdf> checklist was revised in February 2012. In the revision, sections were rearranged and several questions were refined. The first seven sections now have universal questions that apply to every area. Sections 8 thru 24 have questions related to specialized operations. If an area qualifies as an office, common (e.g., conference room, kitchenette), or computer laboratory and does not involve the handling of, use of, or exposure to hazardous chemicals, machinery, equipment, animals, or biological agents, only the first seven sections of the self-audit need to completed. If in doubt about the type of area being audited, please address all sections. Research laboratories and shops should address all sections. The ISP Self-Audit checklist is updated periodically. Always check the REM website for the most up-to-date version. Please return completed self audits to Linda Davis in FRNY 2160 by Friday, June 1. In addition to the self audit, please review your door posting and hazard assessment. They should be accurate and dated within the last six months. Inspections The ChE Safety Committee will perform unannounced safety inspections of laboratories and offices. Last year, when a thorough self audit had been completed, the Safety Committee findings were minor. The inspection checklist that is used is attached for your information. Deficiencies Deficiencies identified in your audit and in the ChE Safety Committee inspections will need to be addressed. The ChE Safety Committee (Jason Davenport, Linda Davis, Bob Hannemann, Vinod Kumar, Fabio Ribeiro, Jeff Valley and Yury Zvinevich) is available to help you. Indemnification Review You will notified of the review date. The review includes unscheduled visits to our laboratories and offices by REM. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you, in advance, for your commitment to safety. Linda For the ChE Safety Committee Linda S. Davis Industrial Education Director Chair, ChE Safety Committee (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/AboutUs/Safety.html) School of Chemical Engineering Purdue University lsdavis(a)purdue.edu<mailto:lsdavis@purdue.edu> (765)496-1710
