[Che-student-staff-list] ISP Recertification of our School

[Nagy, Gabriela]

Hello Everyone,

I am pleased to let you know that following the Integrated Safety Plan (ISP) recertification meeting with REM representatives on March 11, 2022, followed by safety inspection of selected ChE labs and corrections of identified deficiencies, our School was ISP recertified for another year. The official recertification document was signed on March 31. "Thank you!" to all of you for your efforts in making this possible!

Two main deficiencies identified during lab inspections were "open and unlabeled chemical containers" and "researchers not wearing their PPE in the lab". As a reminder, ALL chemical containers, including oil baths need to be labeled, and PPE needs to be worn at all times in the lab (lab coat and safety glasses). Please also remember that outside of the lab you can wear a lab coat ONLY in areas clearly identified as "One glove policy" areas. These do not include the stairwells and the catwalk between the new and old wing of the building. If you travel between these areas you will need to take your lab coat off and put it back on at your destination lab.

Thank you for your sustained commitment to safety!

Sincerely,
Gabriela
on behalf of ChE Safety Committee
