    . Battery-powered or hand-cranked NOAA weather radio It’s getting Chilly!! Can I bring in a heater to adjust my office temperature?Similar to appliances, personal heaters in the cooler months can be an electrical hazard and also interfere with the building’s heating and ventilation systems. If your office temperature is questionable, your first step is to send call 253-535-8935 or email safety@plu.edu. Too many appliances and electrical heaters lead to improper electrical outlet and electrical cord

PPE alone is not to be relied on to provide protection for employees. PPE may be used after all other reasonable means of reducing hazards have been explored. Take active steps to eliminate all identified hazards through the use of other methods, materials, processes or engineering controls. A periodic review of the hazard

    relatively common to find coffee pots left turned on. PLU has had a fire start from a malfunctioning piece of electrical equipment and an overloaded extension cord. The fire department has also responded numerous times to smoke from unknown sources. When investigated, we have found pinched or damaged electrical cords still in use. A number of years ago, we even had a fire in a residence hall. Fortunately, it was very localized and no one was injured. All of these experiences alert us to the possibility

Avoid stringing electrical cords across walkways. If a cord must be positioned across a walkway, it should be placed within a cord conduit that protects the cord and limits the trip hazard. 5.0 Preventing Filing and Storage Accidents Avoid overloading top drawers. Overloading top drawers can bring the file cabinet down on you. Too much weight near the

These forms of energy are visually intuitive, but these limitations deprive students of the big picture of energy conservation. As a future high school physics
