Hello everyone,

I wanted to share with you two recent safety incidents reported to me from the start of the 2021 calendar year (see attached document). The general recommendations at the end of the document provide good information for  preventing safety incidents from happening.

I am also sharing the “Gas Cylinder Handling Procedures for FRNY” document (last updates in July 2020) which is also available on our website (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety/index_html) under the “Laboratory Safety Requirements” section. Please familiarize yourself with the information in this important document.

Stay safe, and should you have any questions, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Gabriela

On behalf of the ChE safety committee
