The Lab’s 40-member strong custodial team reported no OSHA-recordable injuries for 20 months. This accomplishment is especially noteworthy as it came as the team took on new responsibilities due to COVID-19. https://stratcomm-elements.lbl.gov/2021/08/18/custodial-team-records-20-month-safety-record/
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes: Mitigating the Effects of Wildfire Smoke
The hazards of wildfires are well known, but smoke is a more likely and prevalent threat this time of year. The Lab’s Facilities and Environmental Health and Safety divisions have made several changes to help mitigate the adverse effects before and during smoke events. https://stratcomm-elements.lbl.gov/2021/08/17/smoke-gets-in-your-eyes-mitigating-the-effects-of-wildfire-smoke/
Prepare for Pre-Move Cleanups
Cleaning out space to prepare for a move? Order extra bins with the Facilities Work Request, as binders and books are too heavy for Central Waste Station recycling bins. In addition, many office supplies can be reused and sent to Excess Services. Details and tips can be found at cleanup.lbl.gov. https://cleanup.lbl.gov/
