All new employees and researchers need to have initial safety training. If you have new people joining your groups for research, they will need safety training before they start working (e.g. visitors, exchange students, post-docs, etc.). Please ask them to attend this session. Most of our undergraduate students already have the initial training, and would need to take the online refresher. Students from other departments, doing research in our labs, will need this initial training.

My health status - July 5, 2018
by Varma, Arvind 05 Jul '18

05 Jul '18

Dear Colleagues, I hope that you had a great July 4th celebration yesterday! I am writing to give you a brief update of my health status. My last chemo program ended near April end. Since side effects increase with cycle number, the last cycle was tough and kept me in bed for several days. We returned to West Lafayette in mid-May and the oncologists' plan was that I'd go on an oral chemo drug, similar to the one I was on from July 1, 2016 to the end of October, 2017. Insurance declined this plan, however, for two reasons - cost (~$16K/month!) and the fact that it was an experimental plan, I'd have been the first person with pancreatic cancer to try this drug. Soon thereafter, I had a tough time for one month from mid-May to mid-June; in retrospect I had "chemo brain" - see Google for details. It was scary, I couldn't think at all, lost all analytical ability. I became seriously anxious/depressed. On meds, all is back to normal now - thank God! Because the cancer marker was going up with no chemo drug, Karen & I returned to Scottsdale, AZ on June 9 for plan B, yet another chemo program. I had the first chemo shot on June 14; the first cycle involves tests after 2 weeks - they were fine. The next chemo shot will be on July 12, when the next cancer marker will be taken. After giving a few days for side effects (if any), we'll return to West Lafayette on July 17.<x-apple-data-detectors://0> We'll return to AZ after about 3 weeks, for the 2-month CT scans and tests, take chemo #3 here, then return to West Lafayette once again for start of the Fall semester. Since June 20, all traces of "chemo brain" have gone away. I've been working well, having the usual Skype meetings with the research group, and have sent out 2 manuscripts for publication - always a sign of normalcy for us! I thank you for your continued prayers and messages of good wishes - they mean a lot and keep my spirits up. With best wishes, Arvind Arvind Varma R. Games Slayter Distinguished Professor Charles D.

FRNY - Phone Placement
by VoIP Rollout 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

??Colleagues, This is to let you know that you will be receiving your new Cisco Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone the week of June 11th. The phone will then be activated on the same day as the other phones in your building. You will receive a follow-up email the day before your new phone is to be activated. Installation crews will access your work area the week of June 11th to do the initial installation. Your new phone is part of a project to replace Purdue's 20-year-old phone system with modern technology. You will be able to make calls with your new phone after the initial installation the week of June 11th, even before it is fully activated with the rest of the phones in your building. This will allow you to become familiar with it and also to set up your voicemail in advance. It also is a good time to test headsets and other accessories with your new phone. Incoming calls will still be received on your old phone until your new phone is activated. Quick reference materials will be distributed with your new phone and simple training videos are available to assist you in setting it up and becoming familiar with it, including creating new PIN numbers and greetings. You can access these on the project website https://www.itap.purdue.edu/telecommunications/rollout/?<https://www.itap.purdue.edu/telecommunications/rollout/>. The website also includes an up-to-date schedule of planned installation locations and an FAQ about the project. Information is available as well in Purdue's GoldAnswers online knowledgebase. Search for "Cisco VoIP." Headset users: Most wireless headsets should work with your new VoIP phone. Wired headsets may require an adapter cable, if available. The FAQ on the project website has a list of compatible headsets if you need a new one. Once your new phone is fully activated, a member of the phone project team will visit your location to remove your old phone. If you have other accessories such as long handset cables, shoulder rests, or headsets, please move these from your old phone to your new phone. Thank you in advance for your assistance on this major undertaking. If you have questions, please feel free to send an inquiry to VOIP-Rollout(a)purdue.edu. Thank you, Amit J. Patel, ITaP Voice Operations Manager

Lessons learned - Summary of safety incidents in FRNY reported from March 2018 to date
by Nagy, Gabriela 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

Hello Everyone, Please find attached a summary of the safety incidents and near misses reported to me from March 2018 to date. I hope that sharing this information with you will prevent similar situations from happening in the future. Please continue to report all safety incidents and near misses using the form "Safety Incident/Near Miss Report" posted on our website: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety under "Workplace Injury Information". As a reminder, when someone is injured during a safety incident, even if the injury does not require medical attention, this still needs to be reported to REM, using the First Report of Injury (FROI) form: https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/documents/forms/froi.pdf. The form, which is also available on our website, needs to be submitted by the supervisor. Please also add me (nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>) on the list of recipients, when you submit the completed FROI form by email. Should you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your commitment to safety! Sincerely, Gabriela On behalf of the ChE Safety Committee __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G041D Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>
