From patrick.monnig at ucr.edu Fri Jan 30 16:46:54 2026 From: patrick.monnig at ucr.edu (Patrick Monnig) Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 16:46:54 -0800 Subject: [EHSResearchers] 12 Months of Research Safety - PPE Message-ID: Hello UCR Researchers, Our 12 Months of Research Safety topic this month is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). It covers the basics of PPE, including minimum requirements working in a lab, as well as information about changes to our PPE Spot Check program. Our overall PPE compliance between October and December 2025 was 46%, so as a campus we can use a refresher on best practices to improve safety for 2026. Let us know if you have any ideas for how we can work together to improve PPE usage across campus. Previous 12 Months of Research Safety flyers are available on our website at https://ehs.ucr.edu/laboratory/12monthsofresearchsafety. Subscription to this listserv is based on membership in an active LHAT and is updated monthly. As always please contact ehslaboratory at ucr.edu if you have any questions. Thanks, Patrick *Patrick Monnig* Chemical Hygiene Officer/Lab Safety Program Manager UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Environmental Health & Safety 900 University Avenue | Riverside, CA 92521 (951) 827-4254 | patrick.monnig at ucr.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
