Hi all,
I need to remind you about the review procedure for the risk assessments in the lab. Typically each user (you) must review the risk assessment for the procedures you do in the lab on a 3 year basis if they are deemed low risk and annually if they are high risk. We have three procedures in the lab which are high risk and these are 1) Sample dissolution using HF acid, 2) Hf isotope chemistry and 3) U/Th chemistry. All of these involve the use of HF acid hence why they are deemed high risk. All of the other procedures do not use HF acid so can be considered lower risk. I have streamlined the risk assessments so now only the RAs for those three high risk procedures mention HF acid. If you are dissolving silicates for say Pb chemistry then consider the dissolution as one procedure and the chemistry as a second procedure both with their own respective risk assessments.
Because I have updated the chemistry risk assessments can all of you involved in doing any of the chemistry procedures in the lab please go now and reread the appropriate risk assessment for the work you are doing (Clean labs and chemistry<https://cf.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/teams/CELTIC/Shared%20Documents/General/Ris…>) and update the training record.
Some of our longer term users also need to reread RAs for the instruments because the 3 years has now passed since you last did this.
If anyone has any questions then please get in touch.
Cheers,
Edward

Hi all,
Just to let you know that both Lindsey and I will not be here next Monday and Tuesday. Consequently nobody is to do any HF work on Monday and Tuesday. Sofyia will be here both days and Marc is around on Monday - give them a shout if you need help with anything :).
Cheers,
Edward

Hi all,
Just a reminder that we will meet this morning at 11am in 1.58main. It was planned to recap your HF awareness training but I need to postpone this until I attend a course next week. Please still attend the meeting so we can discuss what’s going on in the labs at the moment.
Cheers,
Edward

Hi all,
We need to refresh your HF awareness training on an annual basis. The easiest way to do this is en masse at the lab meeting next week.
Please can everybody attend next Tuesday at 11am in 1.58 main.
Cheers,
Edward

Hi all,
Pretty much all of you need access to 1.20 to use things like the balances and centrifuge. You must contact Imane (copied in here) to arrange with her for an induction to this room before you can be given badge access. Note that an induction for 1.20 is mandatory for all users needing access to the high level clean room in 1.21.
Cheers,
Edward

Hi All,
This essential Estates South Roof work will put the Celtic clean Lab, 1.21, OUT OF USE on Mon 26th to Wed 28th Feb.
In addition all extracted hoods and instruments in the basement CELTIC labs, (all -1.34 rooms, -1.39, -1.42A and -1.42), will be OUT OF USE next week on Thu 29th Feb and Fri 1st March. The clean labs will be closed for the duration of this work and all extracted instruments will be out of use. Please do not leave anything extracting in the hoods for this period.
Lizan, Sofiya, the acid stills should be switched off in 2.10 as this Fume hood will be out of use all week Mon26th Feb to Fri 1st March.
Thank you,
Lindsey

Hi all,
There is some confusion about what we talked about yesterday regarding training records for the COSHH, fume cabnet and laser modules. If everybody can just hold fire on redoing any training for the moment, I will come back to you in a week or so with a full list of who needs to do what.
Cheers,
Edward
