In June, compliance rate was 72%. The target is 100%, i.e. every single person working in their labs wears their PPE!
It was the time to announce the winners of June/July PPE Compliance Survey.
Ivan, our safety officer will conduct monthly PPE check and those who had the highest PPE compliance level, will be put into a draw for a starbuck giftcard!
*The highest PPE compliance level simply means you have lab coat, safety glasses, waterproof footwear and appropriate gloves.

June/July winners are
