We also include a pageabout the UCR Safe app, which has great resources for everyone on campus, available for Android and iOS. If you would like to listen, we also have a podcast covering the content of the flyer available on our Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6SaIMgnB4wFzLnnxFcOcBy?si=z_WO3GHJT5CJBVbm7sWr9w I would also like to announce that the latest update of the Chemical Hygiene Plan is now available on our website for PDF download here: https://ehs.ucr.edu/laboratory/chemicalhygieneplan. Labs should review the changes and sign a new acknowledgement form for the 2025 revision: https://ehs.ucr.edu/laboratory/chp-acknowledgement-form Review Appendix A for a summary of changes, the largest addition this year is requirements for the use of methylene chloride/dichloromethane in Appendix B. One final reminder, EH&S will be closed with campus for the winter holiday from December 24th to January 1st. If you need emergency assistance during that time, please contact UCPD at 911 or 909-827-5222.
