Hello Everyone,

In preparation for the upcoming Safety Recertification of our School with REM, the ChE Safety Committee inspected this week all laboratories and offices in FRNY. I am glad to report that we noticed an overall improvement in the safety of our labs and offices.

Please find attached a document that summarizes the he most frequent safety issues identified during the safety inspections. The document also spells out the OSHA and Purdue required documentation, PPE requirements and a reminder of some safety rules and policies applicable to Purdue and to our School. Please pay close attention to the safety gloves policy under the PPE section.

Each faculty or person responsible for a specific area will receive another email with the results of the safety inspection for that area; please address the problems identified. The Safety Committee will perform unannounced inspections in the second part of July, to check whether the safety issues identified this week were addressed.

Thank you for your continuous commitment to safety!

Sincerely,

Gabriela

on behalf of the ChE Safety Committee
