Hello Everyone,

Please find attached a summary of the safety incidents and near misses that occurred in our School and were reported to me from my last report (June 2015) until now. I hope that sharing this information with you will prevent similar situations from happening.

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.html 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 needs to be reported to REM, using the First Report of Injury (FROI) form: https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/home/forms/froi.pdf. The form, which is also available on our website, needs to be submitted by the supervisor.

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
