Chemical Spill Response Refresher化学品泄漏响应进修.ppt

Challenges, fear of asbestos and lead stiil remain but MOLD has become the modern day version of this. Thanks to sensationalization by the media many have an unhealthy fear of mold. That said, can be a problem and sources of water instrusion into buildings need to be remedied. Prompt attention to leaks and floods must be provided by PP_CS and done in partnership with EHS. EHS should also be brought in when mold is found Working with PPCS on safety program improved, a big challenge is getting folks to follow procedures that haven’t been enforced. Budget cuts give a fresh start. While they are enthused about this fresh start, the reality that much of this falls to the supervisors who are resp for their staff’s safety and the staff themselves. * Lab safety is a big issue but doesn’t get the attention that bio and rad do on campus. Thus, resources haven’t been alloctated in this direction even though in the last 10 years we’ve added the equivalent of 200, 700 sq ft labs with no additonal support. Bio, laser and rad all have increased staff. Nanoparticles also present great challenges. Thankfully, on campus right now, all nano work is contained or done where the nano is in media and not free to the air. However, free nano will be back and there are no regulations or concrete guidance on exposure limits. We get calls and pressure and we have to stay current. Fume hoods present one of the biggest challenges. Easy to understand how to use them, hard to make it easy to do SOPs are the latest challenge though been a req since forever. * IAQ which overlaps with mold, presents the biggest challenge (or most frequent) to HS. Often, there is something else afoot (morale, layoffs, supervisor issues etc) Example from my first year. Public health, food borne illness outbreaks * You’ve heard a lot about biosafety already. Current challenges include recruiting faculty to servce, bringing researchers on board who were ignored by prior bso (risk based choice). Keep
