1) EHS is trialing a new informational workshop called <b><u>"Laboratory Ventilation and Local Exhaust"</u></b>. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">It is an introduction to understanding ventilation
on campus for the research community. </span></div>

2) There have been some updates to the<b><u> LHAT</u> </b>(Laboratory Hazard Assessment) portion of the RSS (Risk and Safety Solutions ) website. They have tried to make it more user friendly. You may notice the changes the next time you login. Once your lab
renews your LHAT, it will be good for 2 years now and not 1. However, if you are adding new technologies, chemicals, identify new hazards, etc., your lab should renew their LHAT at that time as well.</div>

3) EHS is looking to collect any excess/unused <u><b>lab</b></u><b><u> coats</u></b> in your lab in ANY condition. If you have lab coats lying around that are not being used and you don't want them (students left, projects ended etc.), you can donate/drop
them off at EHS or request a pick-up. They will launder and reissue those that are in good shape@ ehslaboratory@ucr.edu. </div>
