**** *February LORRE Safety Issue* 2/9/2016 To All, A) Autoclave Training A new boiler was installed on the autoclave and some of the operations are different than before and add flush generator process. For safety reasons, every user must be trained on the new operations. Please plan to attend the training event and sign training list, as *Paul Thieme* will demonstrate proper use. _Training Times_ Wednesday, 2:00 PM Friday, 2:00 PM _Location_: Room #237 We will also post operation instructions on the autoclave door. /B) Chemical Waste Disposal/ As a lab, we are responsible for properly disposing chemical waste. Especially for toxic chemicals, please immediately complete *the Hazardous Materials Pickup Request form* (include name, Amount of Waste in Container, etc.) and/or the *Biomaterials Pickup Request Form *and submit ASAP. This way, REM can pick up waste immediately to prevent our storage of chemical waste. It is important to properly dispose of waste to keep our lab environment healthy and safe. Thanks, LORRE safety Committee
