Happy #safetymomentmonday! Remember to check that your first aid kits contain non-expired creams and medications, and that they have have latex-free band aid and glove options.

Happy #safetymomentmonday! When you open a new bottle of a peroxide forming reagent, be sure to label the top with the date it was open to make frequent peroxide checking easier.

#safetytiptuesday good housekeeping is a basic part of incident and fire prevention, and effective housekeeping is an ongoing operation!

Don’t be a dirtbag.

Need tips on how to communicate with others in the lab during these socially-distanced times? @Chemjobber uses sticky notes, sharpies, and status boards. https://t.co/e76thMDP7q

Free on-campus COVID-19 testing is available to all faculty, staff & students.

Here's what to expect:
🔸 Testing is free
🔹 The saliva collection only takes a few minutes
🔸 Results are expected within five hours

Thank you in advance for doing your part. https://t.co/cxWruqinmW

Done with your shift in lab but your reaction is still going? ⚗️ Use safe operation cards (SOCs)! These inform others of what process/hazards are present, which is especially critical when you aren't there! JST has templates + more details available here: https://t.co/0XiwNPSXo2

[UMN Joint Safety Team @UMNJST]

Happy #safetymomentmonday! Now that most researchers are working reduced hours, remember to label all unattended reactions with safe operating cards in case something goes wrong when you're not in the lab.

⚠️COVID-19 tests are available for free for UIUC faculty, staff, and students!⚠️If you experience any symptoms 🤒or are concerned that you may have been exposed to the virus, take advantage of this awesome opportunity!

[University of Illinois @UofIllinois]

1️⃣ An #ILLINOIS team has developed a new, non-invasive saliva based COVID-19 test.
2️⃣ That test is now available, for free, to faculty, staff and students.
⁠
Right now, there are two testing sites: the Alice Campbell Alumni Center & State Farm Center. https://t.co/LOT8kQkyCi

I haven't seen anyone else report this: over two weeks ago, @ChemistryUIUC dropped the GRE (general/subject) requirement. We no longer want GRE scores submitted. #GRExit https://t.co/P6SLgI3XgD

[UIUC Chemistry Joint Safety Team @UIUCJST]

📋 Here's a great example of a revised SOP for lab re-openings with new requirements! Make sure to update yours to reflect these as necessary before starting up your chemistry🧪

[Sarah Zinn @SarahRZinn]

When restarting lab work, remember to review your SOPs for startup procedures and make changes to reflect reduced personnel, if needed! Take a look at our checklist for more ideas for #chemistry safety! @UChicago_JRSI #AcademicTwitter #research

Happy Friday everyone! Week 2 back in the lab @JHUChemistry and we are all doing our best to stay #safe. Remember, masks are required at all times while on campus. Make sure to keep your nose and mouth covered! #labsafety
