*LORRE February Safety Issue* 2/27/2017 */Chemical Inventory development/* We have a new chemical inventory system based out of Google Drive. The room by room inventories have been consolidated into a single inventory.With this new inventory it is everyone's responsibility to ensure that the document stay up to date. You will not have editing rights directly to the inventory but you can update the inventory by filling out a Google form which will immediately update to the list.It will be easy and convenient**for LORRE members to review LORRE storage Chemicals, and it will also save time and avoid duplication of chemical purchases.*Red Corn, Raymond* will give a demo in an upcoming lab meeting (3/6/2017). 1)All chemicals should be placed back in their original position after you use them, otherwise the chemical Inventory becomes useless. 2)It is everyone's responsibility to fill out this form when new chemicals are found, old ones are used up, or other discrepancies in the inventory are discovered. 3)Submit MSDs sheets to the Lab's mayor where the chemical is stored for incorporation into the MSDs folder.

To All:

*Exit Checklist*

This semester we will have a number of students leaving LORRE lab, either because they will be graduating or because they found a new job. We understand that time is tight and that there are many things that have to be done in preparation for you leaving. But we still hope that you can find the time to clean your work area.If your advisor needs you to keep some experiment samples or materials, please label them clearly and store them appropriately. If you produced any chemical and biological waste, please dispose of them following Purdue Rem’s waste disposal procedures.

At present our refrigerator, freezer, and cabinets are already full, and we need space for next year’s students to store their experimental materials. We believe that you will be responsible enough to clear up some space for next year following the proper lab safety techniques. Also, please remember fill out the LORRE Exit Checklist (attached below) before you leave.

**

*New Labels*

OSHA has released some new regulations regarding container labeling. They now require containers to be labeled with hazards and pictograms. Purdue REM has labels that follow these new regulations. A secondary container label (pictured below) is needed if a chemical is transferred from one container to another. A hazardous waste label (pictured below) should be used on all mixed hazardous waste containers. Please make sure that all containers in the lab are labeled appropriately.

*Important reminder*

In the LORRE seminar last week, Dr. Mosier mentioned a few important items that we would like to highlight. Please lock the lab doors during the evenings and weekends. Also, make sure to properly label your experiment while it’s running for clear communication for safety reasons.

Thank you,

LORRE Safety Committee

*May LORRE Safety Issue* 5/29/2018 To All: _Chemical Inventory_ Since 2003 our lab has established a chemical inventory.Presently our lab chemical inventory is online in order to improve convenience and monitor chemical supplies, especially in regards to security for high-risk chemicals.By implementing an online inventory, researchers can search instantly for a compound name and that compound's storage location.This saves time and avoids repeated purchases. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1usj4PDUVclYcDadBOzmwRAhxLLS3hkcBbg6O... (Ctrl + click to follow link) Please help the online chemical inventory to remain effective by 1.Putting chemicals back in place after using them.If chemicals are not put back where they belong after use it makes it difficult for others to find through the chemical inventory. 2. Tell us to update the chemical inventory if you purchase a new chemical. Please send e-mail for new chemical name, amount and stager location. If a chemical runs out we need to remove that on the list. Thanks, LORRE Safety Committee

To All: The Annual HEPA Filtered Equipment Certifications will be carried out on Thursday 07/12/2018. We will empty the Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) (ID-734596) in Room #237 on 07/11/2018. Please don’t plan to use it on this date. You will be able to use the BSCs in Lab #233 (ID-733520) and Lab #252. Both BSCs have certification from REM. Today the floor of Lab #237 was covered in water, and*Samira, Elena, Pablo, Jessica, Antonio, Fabricio,****Nate, Dr. Daehwan Kim*, and possibly others worked on cleaning it.The problem most likely occurred by failing to turn off the DI water faucet. Whether or not there is DI water in the system, the faucet must always be turned off when one leaves.Otherwise, it could happen at night or on the weekend, and then we would have an even bigger problem. Thanks, LORRE Safety Committee
