Hi Everyone,

Marc, Morten and I are unable to attend next Monday's CELTIC meeting, so here's a few updates..

Some good news- the large chiller out in the courtyard has been repaired, and the coil unit on the ceiling in the chiller room, -1.42B, is now also up and running. This is cooling the room adequately to start using the Nu again. 

The Helium regulators have both been replaced on the laser and iCAP solution and the gas bottles will remain in their positions for now but will be moved in a few weeks to the end of the bench (near the door) for easier access. Once moved, and easily accessible, it would be sensible to close the gas bottles when they are not in use.
Fiona, I can show you how to do this for the cylinder on the iCAP. Paul/Morten you can do this for the He bottle on the laser in it's current position too.

The Job description for Ed's role has been written and processed by College HR, so hopefully will go out to advert very soon. In the meantime, we're hoping to have some interim cover for the operational management part of Ed's role from mid-April, and I'll update on this when I can, but until then please continue to get in touch with myself or Sofiya with any issues in the lab, lab inductions or training requirements, or if you need consumables etc.

As mentioned in the last meeting, currently I am still the only HF first responder, but I'll let you know once we have a second person trained in this capacity (likely in the coming month) for cover when I'm offsite

Also, if I'm not onsite, this will be recorded in the notes section on the lab booking sheet along with who to contact with any problems while I'm away.

I've also just updated the Earth HF Policy V 5.0 270325.pdf, no major updates, I've just removed Edward as a first responder/trainer etc.

Finally, I've requested a DG EARTH CELTIC mailing list, and we'll switch to this once IT have set it up. This mail list only allows us to adds CU email addresses and most of our visitors will have a one as it's needed to access the mandatory safety training, but to check if we currently have any visitors that don't, you'll need to check here,visitors to CELTIC without a CU email address.xlsx, as these will need to be added separately (there are none that I'm aware of currently, but please update the list if there is).

Have a lovely weekend!

Cheers,
Lindsey
