This is a follow-up my communication earlier this month regarding safety precautions for the new Science Center.
Although the construction work is wrapping up in the Science Center, contractors still are working in the building and construction hazards are still present in several areas of the building. Due to the work of various construction trades and the possibility of falling objects or eye hazards, the current level of required personal protective equipment (PPE) for HVCC employees for any entry into the building remains as: safety glasses, hard hat and closed toe shoes. This PPE requirement will be reassessed as the construction trades finish their work and any changes will be communicated.
If any employee needs to borrow safety glasses or hard hats for Science Center entry, please see Environmental Health and Safety or Physical Plant. If there are any questions about safety hazards or precautions in the Science Center building, please let me know.
Thanks!
