Start of safety inspection of lab and offices
by Nagy, Gabriela 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

Hello everyone, In preparation for the upcoming ISP recertification with REM, scheduled for August 14, 2018, the ChE Safety Committee will start the inspection of all labs and offices on Monday morning, June 11 and will continue throughout the next week. If, for any reason we should not enter a lab for inspection, please let me know, as we don't want to disturb any sensitive experiments. Thank you, Gabriela __________________ 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>

by Nagy, Gabriela 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

Hello Everyone, I am glad to announce that at the ChE Safety Committee's recommendation, Prof. Corti, Executive Officer for the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering, appointed Andrew Parker (working with Dr. Beaudoin) and Rexonni Lagare (working with Dr. Varma) to serve as graduate student members on the ChE Safety Committee for the next two years, starting today. Kai Jin (working with Prof. Wang), also joins the safety committee for one year, the time of his term as GSO safety officer. At the same time, I would like to thank Ryan Adams and Zhenwei Wu for their exemplary service on the safety committee over the last two years. Their effort and input in the safety committee work helped increase the safety culture in our School! Ryan and Zhenwei will continue to serve on the safety committee until the start of the 2018 fall semester, and they will actively participate in the safety committee's activities dedicated to the ISP recertification of our School. 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>

Purdue BoilerKey
by Wilson, Christina D 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

Good morning, Please see below. Time is running out for employees to sign up for a BoilerKey. If you haven't signed up, please do so before July 1st, 2018. http://www.purdue.edu/boilerkey BoilerKey set up<https://www.purdue.edu/apps/account/IAMO/BoilerKeyNew/Purdue_CareerAccount_…> BoilerKey signups in progress, new hardware tokens arrive July 1 deadline to sign up On July 1 all employees need to be signed up for and using BoilerKey if they want to access the employee portal or other SAP functions. Purdue employees can sign up for BoilerKey by visiting http://www.purdue.edu/boilerkey. Users can choose from two options: the Duo Mobile software application or a hardware token if a smartphone or tablet is unavailable. Hardware tokens were previously backordered, but distribution has resumed with receipt of a new shipment. What is two-factor authentication? BoilerKey adds a second login requirement to go with your password. At Purdue, it's a numerical code randomly generated on a smartphone app called Duo or a hardware token. Essentially, even if someone were to get your password (if you fall for a phishing email, for instance), your account would still be protected because only you can physically access your smartphone or key fob hardware token to get the necessary login code. Why do I need it? BoilerKey protects your sensitive data, including financial information such as your bank account and PUID numbers. What if I need a little extra help? You can also get help from: * The GoldAnswers knowledgebase (purdue.edu/goldanswers) * IT Tech Support, West Lafayette campus: itap(a)purdue.edu or 44000; Purdue Northwest: csc(a)pnw.edu; IPFW: helpdesk(a)ipfw.edu or 260-481-6030 What else do I need to know? After the July 1 deadline, if you do not have BoilerKey, you can still sign up for it. The only consequence is that you will not be able to access the employee portal after July 1 until you have BoilerKey. To avoid having to sign up at crunch time, sign up today. Encourage your colleagues to sign up, too. Kind Regards, Christina Wilson Payroll Account Clerk Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Forney Hall Room 1057 Tel. 765-494-4072 wilso917(a)purdue.edu [purdue]

Safety awareness training session - Monday, June 4
by Nagy, Gabriela 30 May '18

30 May '18

Hello Everyone, The next safety awareness training sessions is scheduled for Monday, June 4, 2018 from 2 - 3 pm am in FRNY G124. All new employees and researchers need to have initial safety training. If you have new people joining your groups for research, they will need safety training before they start working (e.g. visitors, exchange students, post-docs, etc.). Please ask them to attend this session. Most of our undergraduate students already have the initial training, and would need to take the online refresher. Students from other departments, doing research in our labs, will need this initial training. Thank you, Gabriela __________________ 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>

by Nagy, Gabriela 30 May '18

30 May '18

Hello Everyone, This is a reminder that the completed self-audit forms for labs and offices are due on June 6, 2018. Please see the forms attached; these need to be signed by the PI/supervisor. Please return completed self-audit forms to Gabriela Nagy in FRNY G041D by 5 pm on Wednesday, June 6, 2018. Thank you, Gabriela On behalf of the ChE Safety Committee From: Che-staff-list <che-staff-list-bounces(a)ecn.purdue.edu> On Behalf Of Nagy, Gabriela Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2018 2:20 PM To: chme(a)ecn.purdue.edu; chmegrad(a)ecn.purdue.edu Subject: [Che-staff-list] Start of self-audits of ChE labs and offices Importance: High 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 the 2018 recertification process with REM 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/isp/index.html . Please only use these forms, as they are the most up-to-date forms that are now used at University level. I also attach the most updated form, for your convenience. The first eight sections have universal questions that apply to every area. Sections 9 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. I attach the Hazard Assessment Certification for FRNY offices for your information; please answer "yes" to questions 6.1 - 6.4 for offices. Please return completed self-audit forms to Gabriela Nagy in FRNY G041D by 5 pm on Wednesday, June 6, 2018. 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 will take place during August, 2018. 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 6, 2018. Thank you, 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>
