Professional Master's Program - ChE
by Varma, Arvind 07 May '16

07 May '16

Dear Colleagues. In light of Dr. Jeff Varner's upcoming departure from Purdue, I have appointed Dr. Bryan Boudouris as "Director of the Professional MS Program" for our School, effective July 1, 2016. Starting now, he will become involved with all aspects of the program, particularly transitioning the responsibilities from Jeff - the overlap period between now and when Jeff leaves Purdue (July 1) nicely provides this opportunity. I thank Jeff for serving well in the Director's role for the past year. Simultaneously, I thank Bryan for accepting this position of leadership service in our School. With best wishes, Arvind Varma R. Games Slayter Distinguished Professor Jay and Cynthia Ihlenfeld Head of Chemical Engineering Purdue University Tel: 765-494-4075; Fax: 765-494-0805; Email: avarma(a)purdue.edu<mailto:avarma@purdue.edu> https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/People/ptProfile?id=11068

Start of self-audits of ChE labs and offices
by Nagy, Gabriela 06 May '16

06 May '16

Hello Everyone, It is now time to complete the annual safety review of all ChE laboratories AND offices. These reviews are part of our Integrated Safety Plan (ISP) and are required for our annual recertification with the University. The safety audit of multiple offices can be inventoried on the same form. The timeline for 2016 is: - May - self-audits of laboratories and offices - June - Safety Committee inspections of all ChE laboratories and offices - May - July - address deficiencies identified in self-audits and inspections - August - Recertification Review with REM 1. Self-Audits The ISP Self-Audit checklist can be found on the ChE School's website, under the "Laboratory Safety Requirements" heading: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/AboutUs/Safety.html , or REM's website: https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/home/forms/ispcheck.pdf. Please also find attached a copy of the self-audit form. The first seven sections have universal questions that apply to every area. Sections 8 to 24 have questions related to specialized operations; research laboratories and shops should address all sections. All self-audit checklists must be signed by PI/supervisor, not necessarily by the person completing the self-audit. Please return completed (and signed by PI/supervisor) self-audits to Gabriela Nagy in FRNY G041D by 5 pm on Friday, June 3, 2016. In addition to the self-audit, please review and update the door posting, hazard assessment (should be placed inside the lab, near the entrance), chemical inventory (Form HCP4) and employee exposure list (Form HCP5) and lab specific Chemical Hygiene Plan for your work area. They should be accurate and dated within the last six months. The ChE Safety Committee agreed that keeping the SDSs saved electronically in a location easily accessible for all group members is an acceptable alternative to paper copies, as long as they are updated regularly and dated within the last 5 years. 2. Inspections During June, 2016, the ChE Safety Committee will perform unannounced safety inspections of all ChE laboratories and offices. 3. Deficiencies Deficiencies identified in your self-audit and in the ChE Safety Committee inspections will need to be addressed. The ChE Safety Committee (list posted on https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/AboutUs/Safety.html) is available to help you. 4. Recertification Review The review includes unscheduled visits to our laboratories and offices by REM. As of now, the review meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 15, 2016; I will update you if there are changes to this date. Should you have any questions, please contact me. Again, please return the completed (and signed by PI/supervisor) self-audit forms to Gabriela Nagy in FRNY G041D by 5 pm on Friday, June 3, 2016. Thank you, Gabriela on behalf of the ChE Safety Committee __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director ChE Safety Committee Chair School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G041D Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>

Hello Everyone, There is a strong smell in the northern stairwell (adjacent to the exit facing Civil Engineering Building). The source of the smell was not identified yet, but Jeff Valley is working with relevant people from Zones/Physical Facilities to identify where it comes from. Please avoid the area until the smell is cleared. I will send an email when it is safe to use those stairs. Thank you, Gabriela On behalf of the ChE Safety committee __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G041D Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>
