<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello UCR Researchers,</div><div><br></div><div>Our December 12 Months of Research Safety topic is on Working Alone and the UCR Safe App. As we get to the end of the year and things on campus quiet down, we like to give a reminder on the hazards of working alone and good practices to stay safe. We also include a pageabout the <a href="https://emergency.ucr.edu/ucrsafe">UCR Safe</a> 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: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/6SaIMgnB4wFzLnnxFcOcBy?si=z_WO3GHJT5CJBVbm7sWr9w">https://open.spotify.com/episode/6SaIMgnB4wFzLnnxFcOcBy?si=z_WO3GHJT5CJBVbm7sWr9w</a></div><div><br></div><div>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: <a href="https://ehs.ucr.edu/laboratory/chemicalhygieneplan">https://ehs.ucr.edu/laboratory/chemicalhygieneplan</a>.
