Subject: ME-Indy safety kick-off meeting: mandatory and in-person, 09/23/2024


Dear ME Indy colleagues,



As Purdue officially kicked off the operation at Indy campus, the responsibility of building and laboratory safety is being transferred to Purdue as well. The School of Mechanical Engineering has been tasked with administering the safety program for the Research Labs in the School. This includes transitioning all the labs within ME-Indy from the IUPUI safety system into the Purdue equivalents as defined by Purdue Environmental Health and Safety (EHS, https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/).



I am writing to draw your attention to a safety meeting with all ME-Indy faculty members who have research space on September 23, 2024. This is a mandatory in-person meeting where we will introduce the requirements from EHS and current practices at West Lafayette campus. Please understand there could be significant differences from the previous IU operation and current Purdue operation. Our Facilities & Operations team will give the introduction first (~60 mins) followed by Q&A session (~30 mins).



We will set up two sessions to make sure everyone can find one fitting the schedule of that day. Zach will send out notice about the conference room and time slots.



All ME faculty who has research space assigned are requested to attend one of the two sessions. This applies to everyone who conducts experimental or computational research with graduate students, postdocs, and other research staff. Since this is the first time to introduce Purdue Safety procedure, the presence of PI (not delegates) is required.



An ME-Indy Safety Committee will be formed soon to handle the routine need of safety-related issues.



There is an urgency to start the new safety procedure, so we must call this meeting with a short notice.



Thanks for your understanding.



Jun
