Preparing for the outage
听

In preparation for the听upcoming power outages, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety would like to ask everyone to help prepare their areas by completing the following tasks before they leave the day before the outage (before end of day Friday).听

• Powering down and unplugging any computers, printers, photocopiers, etc. (especially those that are not connected to surge protectors).
• Removing any perishable food or drink from lunchroom or office fridges/freezers.
• If it is safe to do so, power down and/or disconnect any laboratory equipment听(especially any heating devices, such as ovens or hot plates, which may come back on when power is restored).
• If it is safe to do so, turn off any process gases, process liquids, or water supplies to equipment.
• Releasing pressure on any systems that may still be under load, such as hydraulic cylinders.
• Ensuring any laboratory backup systems that might be in place are in good working order (batteries fully charged, gas cylinders full, etc.).
• Properly capping,听and storing,听any laboratory chemicals that may be present.
• Fully closing all fume hood sashes.
