TOXIC SUBSTANCE IN RECYCLING: A broken thermometer was found in the recycling center among the glass containers meant for recycling. This is a breach in both laboratory and public safety, as mercury is a highly toxic substance. Our department has one of the buildings that was identified as the potential source. EHS asks departments immediately contact EHS for disposal and do not throw away mercury contaminated equipment/waste away, as the recycling team does not have the proper equipment or training to transport and dispose of toxic substances. For further clarification this link will provide an in depth look at spill response: https://www.k-state.edu/safety/lab/labsafety/emergency/spillResponse.html.
NEXT-GEN K-STATE STRATEGIC PLAN: The Next-Gen K-State strategic plan is available for review. A feedback survey is open until Friday of this week (8/25). This plan will direct K-State for at least the next decade, and this is an opportunity to provide your feedback on this draft. Please take some time to review and provide your thoughts on this guiding document that will become our roadmap into the future.
