Subject: 2024 Lab Safety Inspection
In 2024, EHSO will perform inspections by department. The Environmental Health & Safety Office (EHSO) must inspect laboratories on an annual basis or upon request to meet the Workplace Safety and Health legislative requirements. Inspections are intended as a mechanism to increase overall safety awareness by identifying risks associated with laboratory activities and providing corrective actions to ensure that we are operating in a safe environment.
The EHSO inspection team will work with Faculty members and/or the Department Head to coordinate and schedule inspections to minimize interruptions to any teaching or research activities. The Department of Plant Science is scheduled for inspection Wednesday April 24th.
We thank you for your cooperation, you may find a copy of the self-inspection checklist can be found here.<https://umanitoba.sharepoint.com/sites/um-intranet-lab-safety/Shared%20Docu…>
The following is being sent on behalf of Ralph Kowatsch:
___________________
EHSO will be coming to Plant Science for the annual Lab Inspection. The scheduled date is Wednesday April 24th. They have requested that someone be available from each research group to provide access to lab spaces. Please make sure that your chemicals are stored properly, no food or drink are in lab spaces and that chemical inventory lists are up to date.
Thanks
Ralph
Hello All,
As we are getting really close to fiscal year end, we are looking to see if we can have the tank empty this week before March 29. We would appreciate if you could fill your tanks, so that we can process the chargebacks before year end.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Have a great day!
Thanks and regards,

If you receive an email from Dr. Douglas J. Cattani, asking for information, he wants to get/buy you something, do not respond, it is scam.

Subject: FYI - Strange Fellow in Animal Science
FYI, Charlene from Animal Science sent this on TEAMS chat:
.....
Security alert: we had a young man wandering our halls acting suspiciously - he is about 5'4", yellow shirt with no jacket or backpack. He was going up and down our halls, trying doors and wandered into our staff kitchen, took pictures of our computer room. We were unable to catch up with him and are calling security but just a heads up in case he wanders your way.
