Start of self-audits of ChE labs and offices
by Nagy, Gabriela 09 May '17

09 May '17

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 to obtain our annual recertification with the University. The safety audit of multiple offices can be inventoried on the same form. The timeline for 2017 is: - May - June - self-audits of all laboratories and offices - June - Safety inspections of all ChE laboratories and offices - May - July - address deficiencies identified in self-audits and inspections - August - Recertification Review meeting 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 , or on the REM's website: https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/home/forms/ispcheck.pdf The first seven sections have universal questions that apply to every area. Sections 8 to 27 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 self-audits to Gabriela Nagy in FRNY G041D by 5 pm on Wednesday, June 7, 2017. 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. If your group is keeping SDSs saved electronically, please make sure you follow the recommendations issued by the safety committee that are listed HERE<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety/documents/Guidelines%20fo…>. 2. Inspections: The ChE Safety Committee will perform unannounced safety inspections of all laboratories and offices during June, and will send the inspection reports to the faculty responsible for those areas. 3. Deficiencies: Deficiencies identified in your audits 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 ) is available to help you. 4. Recertification Review: The review includes unscheduled visits to our laboratories and offices by REM. The recertification review meeting with REM is scheduled for August 15, 2017. Should you have any questions, please contact me. Again, please return the completed self-audit forms to Gabriela Nagy in FRNY G041D by 5 pm on Wednesday, June 7. Thank you, Gabriela on behalf of the ChE Safety Committee __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director ChE Safety Committee Chair Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G041D Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>

Safety updates
by Nagy, Gabriela 09 May '17

09 May '17

Good morning, everyone, In order to assist ChE group safety officers to fulfill their duties in this role, the ChE Safety Committee developed two documents to clarify the responsibilities of safety officers and give some guidelines on items to be covered during safety training of new researchers. These documents are now posted on our website https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety under the "Laboratory Safety Requirements" heading, and are also attached to this email as a PDF. Please use them, and refer to them whenever necessary. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all ChE safety committee members for their effort and help in developing these important documents. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for your commitment to safety! Gabriela On behalf of the ChE safety Committee __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director ChE Safety Committee Chair Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G041D Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>
