</b>As per previous announcements (and forewarnings), EH&S will
initiate lab safety audits starting the morning of <b>Friday, July 8th in
Spieth Hall</b>. John Colldaday, EH&S Biosafety Program
Specialist, has been assigned to perform inspections of the teaching and
research labs in Spieth Hall. <u>Laboratory audits for Boyce and
ULB will be announced when I am advised of the schedule.<br><br>
</u>In an effort to assist labs in preparing for these audits, EH&S
has developed a Laboratory Self-Audit Guide which is Appendix E to the
Campus Chemical Hygiene Plan and can be viewed at the following
links: <br><br>
</font><font face="arial" size=3>Appendix E is available in either a PDF

</a></font>Please use this document as a tool to prepare and organize
your lab in advance of the impending examinations. Historically,
the majority of violations noted during previous inspections were
associated with waste management and labeling of secondary
containers.<br><br>
Should you have questions or concerns regarding the guide or lab safety
inspections, please contact me at your earliest convenience.<br><br>
Thank you, Dan<br>
