[Che-student-staff-list] Start of self-audits of ChE labs and offices

[Nagy, Gabriela]

Hello Everyone,



It is now time to complete the annual safety review of all ChE laboratories AND offices. These reviews are part of our Integrated Safety Plan (ISP) and are required to obtain our annual recertification with the University.



The timeline for 2015 is:

- May - self-audits of laboratories and offices

- June - Safety Committee inspections of all ChE laboratories and offices

- May - July - address deficiencies identified in self-audits and inspections

- August - Recertification Review with REM



1. Self-Audits

The ISP Self-Audit checklist can be found on the ChE School's website, under the "Laboratory Safety Requirements" heading: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/AboutUs/Safety.html , or REM's website: http://www.purdue.edu/rem/home/forms/ispcheck.pdf. Please also find attached a copy of the self-audit form.



The first seven sections have universal questions that apply to every area. Sections 8 to 24 have questions related to specialized operations; research laboratories and shops should address all sections. All self-audit checklists must be signed by PI/supervisor, not necessarily by the person completing the self-audit.



Please return completed (and signed by PI/supervisor) self-audits to Gabriela Nagy in FRNY G051 by 5 pm on Friday, May 29, 2015.



In addition to the self-audit, please review and update the door posting, hazard assessment, chemical inventory (Form HCP4) and employee exposure list (Form HCP5)  and lab specific Chemical Hygiene Plan for your work area. They should be accurate and dated within the last six months.



2. Inspections

During June, 2015, the ChE Safety Committee will perform unannounced safety inspections of all ChE laboratories and offices.



3. Deficiencies

Deficiencies identified in your self-audit and in the ChE Safety Committee inspections will need to be addressed. The ChE Safety Committee (list posted on https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/AboutUs/Safety.html) is available to help you.



4. Recertification Review

The review includes unscheduled visits to our laboratories and offices by REM. I will notify you of the review date, once I have that information.



Should you have any questions, please contact me.



Again, please return the completed (and signed by PI/supervisor) self-audit forms to Gabriela Nagy in FRNY G051 by 5 pm on Friday, May 29, 2015.



Thank you,

Gabriela

on behalf of the ChE Safety Committee
