LORRE May Safety Issue                                                   

5/6/2013

First, you may have noticed the past few months that there were students working in the LORRE labs on the Corn & Soybean Competition. We would like to point out one in particular, Degerhan Deger, who returned last week after his exams to clean out his group’s work area, including the proper washing of all beakers and flasks that they used.  He also made sure that all the chemicals they used were properly disposed of. We can all take note of this good practice- when finished with a project, please clean up your materials and work area completely before moving on to a new process. This will help the lab be more organized and well-maintained.

Second, we have our annual REM recertification coming up in July. There are many things we need to do to prepare for this:

1. The self-audit must be completed for all LORRE lab areas (including storage and office areas)

2. We must correct any deficiencies found during the self-audit.

We will need everyone’s help and cooperation in preparing for the recertification, more details will be discussed in the next group meeting.

Thanks!
