Regular readers of this newsletter will know that in each month’s edition I have focused on part of the Lab Safety and Hazardous Waste training each of you had before you started working in your labs. This served as a refresher of sorts to you for that class. We at EH&S felt that a slightly more formalized refresher training would benefit our lab personnel and, with the concurrence of the Laboratory Safety Committee, this will start later this summer. Michael Fouch, our Lab Auditor and Industrial Hygienist, has provided the following information on the upcoming refresher activity. MORE
