Helpful Tips to Follow
During Fire Season
Employees are reminded to follow several important safety measures during the ensuing fire season. Pay attention to the signs posted at the gates alerting people about general fire conditions, especially on Red Flag days (low humidity, high temperatures, winds from the East). Vehicles should be parked on paved or shielded surfaces only. Prior to starting any work that can create flames, sparks or heat sufficient to start a fire, obtain a "Hot Work" permit from the Fire Department. Know the location of a phone closest to your work site. If you see or smell smoke, report it immediately by calling x7911. Go here to learn more about preparations for the fire season.
Report Overheating
Electrical Devices
A recent incident underscores the need for Lab employees to immediately report suspected electrical problems, such as devices that seem to be overly warm, cracked cords, loose plugs, and broken wiring devices. In the incident, a lab had electrical power supplied by a raceway assembly with multiple receptacles installed. An inspector noticed that the raceway was hot to the touch and notified the electrical shop. The electrician discovered that the wires in all of the receptacles were loose, causing high resistance and overheating. Employees who encounter electrical problems should contact their Division Safety Coordinator, Facilities Electricians, or the EH&S electrical safety engineer at x4694. Go here for more information.
