Hello everyone,

Please remember that safety gloves have to be removed and disposed of correctly BEFORE leaving the lab, unless you transport chemicals (in secondary containers) from one lab to another, in which case you can wear one glove (keeping the other hand ungloved). The FRNY space where you can wear your lab coat and ONE glove is clearly marked as “One Glove Policy Area”. For the safety of everyone, please do not violate this School policy and do not wear safety gloves in public areas and in areas where the one glove policy does not apply (e.g.: office, office hallways, restrooms, etc.).

I have received notifications that safety gloves were seen in restroom trash bins, and most recently (today) on the floor in the graduate student office area on first floor, new wing (see photos attached) - this is unacceptable and violates the School’s One Glove Policy. To maintain a strong safety culture in our School and on campus, please keep your safety, and the safety of others in mind and apply good safety practices at all times.

Thank you for your commitment to safety!

Gabriela

On behalf on the ChE Safety Committee
