Safety updates
by Nagy, Gabriela 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Hello Everyone, On behalf of the ChE Safety Committee, I would like to communicate with you a few safety updates and recommendations discussed and approved in our November safety committee meeting. 1. The ChE Safety Committee developed a set of guidelines for maintaining electronic copies of SDSs in the lab. Printed copies of SDSs are still the preferred method of keeping SDSs in the lab, but if the research group decides to store them in electronic form, please follow the attached guidelines. A copy of this document is also be posted on our ChE Safety website: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety, under "Laboratory Safety Requirements". 2. In order to protect the floors in ChE labs, the ChE Safety Committee recommends that a protective mat be placed under each liquid nitrogen (LN2) tank present in a lab. Please click HERE<https://www.grainger.com/product/NOTRAX-Interlocking-Antifatigue-Mat-3UM39?…> to see an example of a suitable protective mat. 3. Reminder: Headphones, including earbuds are not to be worn in the lab, unless they are used as personal protective equipment. Although this was stressed on many occasions, including the Safety Awareness Training and Annual Safety Refresher Training, it was not included in the ChE Safety Policies document until now. Please find attached the updated ChE Safety Policies which now include this policy (bullet point #4). The updated document is also posted on our website: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety. 4. In October 2016, Purdue University Human Resources developed a new document, "Worker's Compensation Resource Packet for Supervisors", that gives an overview of the policies and steps to be followed when reporting workplace injuries, as well as information about approved medical facilities and transportation to medical facilities. The document also gives examples of filled in forms relevant to reporting safety incidents. Please find attached a copy of this document, which is also posted on the ChE Safety website: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety, under "Workplace Injury Information". Should you have any questions, please let me know. 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>

Sent on behalf of Dean Jamieson: Regarding College of Engineering
by Garcia, Maria M 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

To the College of Engineering Faculty, Staff, and Students - As the Thanksgiving break approaches and amid heightened political tensions, I want to take the opportunity to express some hopes for the College of Engineering. I hope that all members of the College of Engineering community can and will reflect values that are central to the College and central to Purdue: values that include integrity, respect, diversity, and inclusion. I hope that we will live by these values in our words and in our actions. I hope that when we disagree, we will do so with respect. I hope that we can honor different perspectives, learn from each other, and celebrate our differences. I hope that we will, together, create a respectful, welcoming climate that nurtures all of us. And I believe that we can do this. My warmest regards, Leah --- Leah H. Jamieson The John A.

FW: Reminder: America Recycles Day - Donate Unused Clothes tomorrow (Fri 11/11)
by Johnson, Beverly J 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

Dear All, Did you know that approximately 20 billion lbs of clothing are thrown away in the US every year? These clothes make their way to the landfill where they decompose to release harmful greenhouse gases. Here is a great opportunity for you to donate unused clothing for a good cause (and declutter your closet!). November 15th is observed annually in the US as America Recycles Day. In the spirit of this day, GSO is organizing a cloth collection drive on Friday, November 11th, between 12pm and 2 pm in the atrium. You can drop off the following at our desk: Clothing (Men, Women & Children), Blankets, Drapes/Curtains, Pillows, Sleeping Bags, Shoes, Purses, Hats & Jewellery. Anything else will not be accepted. The collected items will be distributed to The Purple Heart and Goodwill organizations. Please come forward and contribute. Regards, Ishant Khurana Graduate Research Assistant Graduate Student Sustainability Chair Chemical Engineering Department at Purdue University [1474383190122_Outreach]
