<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Department Chairs and Directors, <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope you’re summer is going well. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">EH&S would like to provide you a courtesy notification of upcoming events for your awareness.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>CUPA Inspections<u></u><u></u></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On Tuesday, October 11, 2022 to Thursday, October 13, 2022, UCR will be inspected by the Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPA), a state-authorized consolidation of six environmental and emergency response programs. CUPA inspects facilities
that handle or store hazardous materials, generate hazardous and medical waste, and own or operate underground storage tanks. The last time UCR was inspected was over four years ago. During these dates, the inspectors will randomly select areas of particular
interest within UCR laboratories, shops, and mechanical spaces to review the handling and storage of hazardous waste management practices and emergency response capabilities. The inspectors will be accompanied by EH&S personnel.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Laboratories are highly encouraged to prepare their laboratories for the inspection. Attached you will find a guidance document that can be referenced for the preparation. Please share widely with your department faculty.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Laboratory Safety Escalation<u></u><u></u></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we enter a new academic year, EH&S would like to take this opportunity to remind faculty that we have begun conducting our annual laboratory evaluations. We ask that faculty and lab personnel work to resolve the findings within the allotted
time period, and prolonged unresolved findings will follow our established escalation process that is described in our
<a href="https://ehs.ucr.edu/laboratory/laboratory-evaluation" target="_blank">Laboratory Safety Evaluation Program</a> document.
<u></u><u></u></p>
