June Safety Issue

To All:

ISP Certification Renewal

We are preparing for the 2015 LORRE Integrated Safety Plan (ISP) certification renewal audit.  This is a very important safety program for LORRE.  First, we will separate into two teams and preform self-audits.  After the self-audits are completed, each PI must sign the self-audit checklist. 

The self-audits should be finished by 6/19/2015.  If there are any corrections to be made based on the self-audit, please complete them by 7/1/2015. 

This safety audit combines Lab #359’s organization and arrangement processes.  We believe everyone is responsible for promoting lab safety in LORRE.

Chemical Inventory Update (2015)

Madison Turner, Dayane Vanessa Morais and Haley Roos helped to finish all lab chemical inventories.  We would like to thank them for their work.  The updated lists will be posted in each lab.  The complete document is available from Carla and will be kept in the LORRE Office. 

The chemical inventory is helpful when trying to find certain chemicals.  Also please check the inventory list before ordering any chemicals to avoid duplication.  These updates will help everyone save time and money on research

Lab Coat Cleaning

We have recently taken all dirty lab coats to be cleaned.  We would like to thank Joan Goetz for washing the lab coats for the LORRE laboratory. 

Thank you for your cooperation,

The LORRE Safety Committee
