[EHSResearchers] 12 Months of Research Safety - PPE

[Patrick Monnig]

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
