As the new CHE representative to the Senate, I am forwarding you the e-mail below to remind you about tomorrow's Town Hall. Prof. Julie C. Liu Associate Professor Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 Phone: (765) 494-1935 Fax: (765) 494-0805 -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Fall Reopen Town Hall on 6/17 Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2020 13:55:53 +0000 From: Purdue University Senate <purdueuniversitysenate(a)purdue.edu> Reply-To: Nichols, Deborah L <deborahnichols(a)purdue.edu> Dear Senators, Thank you for your emails, question submissions, and survey responses. We are writing today to encourage you to reach out to the faculty, graduate students, and staff members in your units to remind them of our second Town Hall on *_17 JUNE 2020 from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm_**.* In this second town hall, we will address the two themes that we were unable to cover during the first town hall: teaching responsibilities in the fall and support for working remotely. Next, we will engage in an extended Q&A session where your questions, concerns, and ideas, particularly those submitted during the last town hall, will be used to structure the discussion. It is our intent to keep the town hall focused on what you are most concerned about and less on extended presentations. At present, there is an online question box <https://www.purdue.edu/senate/town-hall-index.php> for you to continue to submit your questions and concerns. The captioned recording of the first town hall <https://www.purdue.edu/senate/town-hall-index.php> is also available online. Another survey will be distributed after this second town hall to determine what questions and concerns you continue to have as we move forward through the summer. This town hall will be live-streamed, closed captioned, and recorded for those who cannot attend. We will continue to schedule additional town halls as needed. The link will be available on the Senate's web site <https://www.purdue.edu/senate/>. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to facilitating an even more effective discussion among faculty, staff, students, and administration. Best, *Deborah L.

Safety updates and reminders
by Nagy, Gabriela 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

Hello everyone, As we finally restart lab-based research operations in FRNY, I wanted to update you on a few important safety points. Safety Training: 1. As I mentioned in my email on Friday, the mandatory Covid-19 On-Site Employee Safety Training developed by REM was recently moved to SuccessFactors. Completion of this training is recorded in SuccessFactors (in "Training History"), and you will not receive an email confirmation upon completion. If you completed the training before June 8th, and logged the completion of this training in the old system (on REM's website), you will need to redo the training in SuccessFactors to count as training; there is a 1 question "verification quiz" at the end of the training in SuccessFactors). More information here: https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/worker/COVID-19%20Resources.html. 2. The "Covid-19 specific safety protocols for FRNY" document was updated to reflect this change, along with other needed changes (all changes made are highlighted in yellow). 3. The "ChE Safety Training Required for a Safe Return to Forney" on our safety webpage (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety) was updated to reflect these changes. 4. If you already logged the completion of your "ChE Return to Campus Safety Training" before the Covid-19 On-Site Employee Safety Training was moved to SuccessFactors, you do not need to log it again. 5. Staff members approved to return to the building should complete the Covid-19 On-Site Employee Safety Training in their SuccessFactors and the ChE specific annual safety refresher training relevant to their role. You will also need to log the completion of your training by completing the "Training sign-in sheet<https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6hfVnmFl6TtwRJX>". Other important reminders: 1. Please honor your commitment to the Protect Purdue Pledge, practice social distancing and wear a face mask, as directed by the University, at all times in Forney, unless you are alone in an office. It came to my attention recently that some researchers do not follow this safety rule. I wanted to remind you that noncompliance with the University set rules and with the ChE specific safety protocols may result in dismissal from on-site work until social distancing guidelines are lifted. 2. To be effective in reducing the spread of Covid-19, please make sure you wear the face mask/covering correctly, as shown below (visual from CDC): [cid:image001.png@01D64318.916DDA20] 1. At this time you should only come to campus for lab-based research; all other activities that can be performed remotely should continue to be performed remotely until further notice. Your lab has to be in "Green" status, and you have to complete all relevant training before returning to the building for research activities. Should you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Stay safe, Gabriela On behalf of the ChE Safety Committee __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G051 Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>

Update regarding completion of Covid-19 On-Site Employee Safety Training
by Nagy, Gabriela 12 Jun '20

12 Jun '20

Hello Everyone, I wanted to let you know that the mandatory Covid-19 On-Site Employee Safety Training developed by REM was recently moved to SuccessFactors on June 8th. If you completed the training before this date and logged the completion of training in the old system (on REM's website), you will need to redo the training in SuccessFactors to count as training (there is a verification quiz at the end of the training in SuccessFactors). More information here: https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/worker/COVID-19%20Resources.html. If you logged the completion of the "ChE Safety Training Required for a Safe Return to Forney" on the ChE website with this Purdue developed training taken in the old system, you don't have to re-log the training after completion of the training in SuccessFactors; we will accept the old proof of completion as uploaded during the initial logging process. As a last note, researchers who got approval to return to campus to restart lab-based research operations (the Covid-19 Research Space SOP for your area was approved by the University), please log the completion of your safety training after being trained on this SOP and after you signed the signature page provided by the evaluation team (Complete "Training sign-in sheet<https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6hfVnmFl6TtwRJX>" to log your training on our website: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Return to research operations in FRNY - updates and safety training requirements
by Nagy, Gabriela 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hello everyone, I am writing to provide an update regarding the process of safe return to experimental research operations in FRNY and to communicate some new protocols (see attached document) put in place by the ChE Safety Committee to assist with this process and ensure the safety of our ChE community. All research activities that can be performed remotely (e.g.: computational research, data analysis, etc.) will continue this way until further notice. The attached document is also available on our website: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety, under "Safety Policies Specific to Forney Hall". The building assessment and corrective actions were completed (on our side) last week and documentation was sent to the University. We are still waiting for the hand sanitizer stations to be installed near the doors designated as entrances for the building (the one facing Physics and the one facing Engineering Mall). This is the responsibility of the Physical Facilities and they will install them as soon as the order comes in. The door facing Schleman Hall is designated as exit only at this time. The labs with critical research approved by the University are labeled with a yellow posting and these groups can continue to work in the building without having the Covid-19 Research Space SOP completed at this time (the template is not available yet (check here<https://protect.purdue.edu/research/covid-research-space-safe-operating-pro…> for updates); this will be sent to PIs, who will be invited to complete and submit it for approval). I suggest that each group drafts a CVovid-19 specific internal SOP; this information can be transferred onto the University template when this is sent to PIs. Groups not performing critical research can also start thinking about what information to include in the Research Space SOP, but should not return to campus until their lab is cleared (Research Space SOP was submitted and approved by the University). Shared offices for researchers are considered "research space" and their use will also need to be addressed in the Covid-19 Research Space SOP. To help with addressing this point, the School has set maximum occupancy for each shared office, and notices will be posted this week on each shared office door to indicate this number and also other restrictions on seating (e.g.: not seating at adjacent desks). Safety training: Before returning to FRNY, everyone needs to complete the "ChE Return to Campus Safety Training" consisting of several training modules, and log the completion of their training online. More information in the attached document and on our website: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety under "ChE Safety Training Required for a Safe Return to Forney" heading. You can start completing the training modules now (and prepare the documents that need to be uploaded), but please only log the completion of your training (by completing the "Training Sign-in Sheet" under the same heading) once you were trained on the Covid-19 Research Space SOP approved by the University, as this is a required training module. ChE staff members will continue working remotely according to the University guidelines. However, before returning to work in the building everyone will need to complete the relevant safety training (applicable modules), and log the completion of training as described above. Please read the attached document and review the updated ChE safety website to learn more about the necessary safety training requirements for a safe return to FRNY. Should you have any questions about the information in this email, please let me know. Sincerely, Gabriela On behalf of the ChE Safety Committee __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G051 Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>

Updates for FRNY building
by Nagy, Gabriela 20 May '20

20 May '20

Hello everyone, I hope everyone stays safe and is practicing social distancing as part of the effective ways to reduce the spread of Covid-19, and to ensure a speedy and safe return to research operations at Purdue and in our School. Although there is little information I can share at this time, I wanted to make you aware of some developments regarding reopening of FRNY to research operations (and not only) in the near future. I know the email is lengthy, so please read patiently to the end, as it contains important information. 1. We had the initial building assessment on Monday and received guidance and instructions on what we need to do regarding public spaces to ensure social distancing in common/public areas. These areas did not include offices and shared offices at this point. Nick and Jeff are working hard (thank you!) in ensuring we meet the estimated opening date of June 5th. This date is only an estimate and depends on many factors out of our control, such as installation of hand sanitizer stations near the doors that will be designates as entrances in the building. Please note that not all doors will be open for entrance; there will be doors used as exit/emergency exit only. As progress is made and I have more information, I will share that with you. 1. There are a few labs with research activities deemed as "essential"; therefore these labs are open and researchers are present in the building and working in compliance with Purdue regulations. I received news that EVPRP, in coordination with Facilities, began the process of labeling lab doors with color coded signage as following: * Starting today: YELLOW door signage will be added on door of all identified critical research spaces. This signage will read: "This Research Space is open for Critical Research only for the researchers and work specified in the forms submitted and acknowledged by EVPRP." The buildings and rooms numbers for these critical research spaces come from Critical Research Continuity Information submissions received through May 17 (PI n ~ 433). These yellow signs will replace existing door signage as appropriate; any current signs indicating the presence of hazards in a room must remain posted. * Next week, EVPRP will begin the process of posting RED signage on all research spaces that were not included in Critical Research Continuity submissions received by May 17. This signage will read: "This Research Space does not yet have an approved COVID Research Space SOP and is not open for use." Please note that no additional researchers or supporting personnel should return to campus (or expand critical research operations currently being conducted) until the building is certified and open per University guidelines (I will send a message when this is happening). Those currently on campus should continue to conduct critical research as described in your Critical On-Campus Research Continuity submission. * All research spaces will be issued GREEN signage, to replace the red or yellow, once the PI associated with a given space has an approved COVID-19 Research Space SOP. This SOP approval is required for researchers to open their research spaces and continue their work. Little information is given regarding this SOP, but it was announced that Purdue will provide a template that needs to be personalized with information specific to the lab for which is developed. The SOP needs to be personalized by PI and submitted for approval (details regarding the process of submission and approval was not shared yet, but details will be communicated in due time). There are a few things that can be done to speed up the return to research, once the building is certified for this (to turn the red/yellow door postage into green): 1. PIs and safety officers: start thinking about what to include in the lab specific SOP. The lab specific procedures in the SOP should address three guidelines (PPE and face coverings, social distancing, and people de-densification). Please consider scheduling shifts, looking at how many people can work in a lab according to the required 120 square feet/person current requirement, working remotely for tasks that can be performed remotely (e.g.: data analysis), engineering controls and/or additional PPE that can be used for tasks requiring more than one person, cleaning/disinfecting procedures for lab, shared instruments/equipment, surfaces). 2. Training: Before returning to working on campus everyone will be required to complete the "Covid-19 on-site employee safety training" and log their training via the Qualtrics "Training sign-in form" located under the training material. This training can be completed any time (link: https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/worker/COVID-19%20Resources.html) Once you log the training you receive an email confirmation - keep this as a PDF copy as I will need proof that you completed the training before returning to the building. This training will be an integral part of the return to campus safety protocols, along with our specific ChE yearly refresher training (I am working on finalizing the requirements for that and will send a separate email regarding completion). Please see today's edition of Purdue Today for further COVID-19 related guidance updates on multiple fronts, including research: https://www.purdue.edu/uns/PurdueToday/current.htm. One important thing is that after May 26 everyone needs to wear face covering when entering a campus building (see this article in Purdue Today: https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/purduetoday/releases/2020/Q2/new-protocols-…) I hope this email sheds some light on the current status of reopening of our building and some procedures needed to be in place before we can restart research activities in FRNY. Please be sure to visit the Purdue Covid-19 website often (https://coronavirus.purdue.edu/) especially the information for researchers (https://coronavirus.purdue.edu/research/) which has the most up-to-date information (including procedures, protocols, etc) regarding efforts for reopening the campus for research. Once the University is providing more clarity on safety requirements and policies for return to work, the ChE safety committee will develop our own safety policies, which will be shared with everyone in due time. Stay safe, Gabriela __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G051 Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>
