Chu Shuts Unsafe Labs, Orders Safety Walk-Throughs
Recent on-going safety inspections by senior management have found laser, electrical and chemical safety issues in a number of laboratories. These results have prompted Lab Director Steve Chu to shut down these labs until they are brought up to proper safety standards, and to issue a request that all Principal Investigators (PI’s) personally walk through their labs by Jan. 20 to identify and correct all safety hazards. Chu informed Division Directors, deputies and safety coordinators in a memo yesterday of their responsibilities for the inspections and timely fixes. Chu’s memo, including a personal account of his review of his own labs at Stanford, can be read here. An article on the role of PI’s as safety champions, referenced by Chu, can be read here.
Concurrently, a senior DOE official has cautioned that continued funding of programs under her purview will be in jeopardy until safety is assured. Basic Energy Sciences Director Pat Dehmer wrote to Director Chu, reminding him that “the first dollar we send to the labs is the dollar that is to be used for safety,” and “We will terminate work that is not conducted in accordance with the highest safety standards”. Go here to view the BES policy on environment, safety and health.
