Good morning.  A few quick notes here:

 

1)      OSHA is coming to our labs tomorrow to have a brief= lab inspection.  Your advisor should have mentioned this to you over = a week ago.

2)      When any of our laboratory support staff give a dir= ective on lab conditions, I expect a response.  If we are all too busy= to maintain a clean lab, there are other options available to temporarily = reduce workload.  Please let me know.

3)      As the labs are shared space consider the following= rules: Clean up your own mess, put away your tools, leave the work environ= ment ready for the next user (even if this involves cleaning up someone els= e’s mess…yeah, that would suck… and it would indicate that you have less than professional peers who you p= robably share an office with!). This is fundamentally different than how yo= u would treat your desk/car/apartment…. which is all about you!<= /o:p>

Going forward there will be a polishing lab email li= st (sparing the 20 people who are non-users).
