Safety in the laboratory is of paramount concern. I’m relaying this information from Marlene, our department’s Manager of Technical and Physical Resources.

Required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in CHBE labs are:

•  safety glasses
•  labcoat
•  waterproof footwear and
•  gloves (as appropriate for chemicals handled)

This month the Safety Committee is evaluating lab PPE compliance in all the labs that CHBE personnel use. Those who have all their required PPE will receive a ticket for a draw at the end of the month. To date, compliance is about 50% which we would like to see improved.

The draw price is a Starbucks Coffee card.

The check will be done at random. So, be prepare and wear all the appropriate PPE in your laboratory.
