A PDF is attached with specific details on navigating to the site. Here are the rules: Request the open shifts you would like by selecting each 30-minute increment necessary. Each person is required to schedule a minimum of 12 hours per week with a maximum of 20 hours. Shifts must be at least 2 hours (4 consecutive 30-minute time blocks) or longer. Other arrangements are possible but must be pre-approved by Tyler. Note that longer shifts tend to be scheduled for the window. No promises! Little flexibility will be given for last minute call offs and permanent switches once the semester begins. So, please choose your spots carefully. Be sure to account for any second session classes you may have enrolled in. Know anyone that might want to join our team? The application for Fall 2024 is also now open. Please share the link below with anyone that might be interested in joining our team. https://go.osu.edu/au24preplabapp Best, Tyler [The Ohio State University] Tyler Weaver Instructional Lab Supervisor General Chemistry Prep Lab Manager The Ohio State University Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry 280E Celeste Lab 120 W. 18th Ave., Columbus, OH 43210 (614) 688-3929 Office weaver.646 at osu.edu Pronouns: he/him/his Please do not feel obliged to read or reply to my messages outside of your normal working hours. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Be sure you know what to do in the event of a severe weather emergency. Details on the difference between a tornado watch and warning can be found on the National Weather Service website. Every building on campus has a Building Emergency Action Plan, BEAP. You have completed an online training about these at some point this academic year. Consider reviewing section 6.13 ?Severe Weather Emergencies? of the BEAP for any buildings you may be visiting today. If a tornado warning is issued, and you are in Celeste: Do not wait for instructions. Equipment in use should be turned off. Labs should evacuated & locked. Everyone should proceed to the basement and wait in the areas shaded in green below. If the weather service allows the tornado warning to expire, this will serve as your all-clear. [A green line on a floor plan Description automatically generated] Please let me know if you have any questions.

From: cbc-everyone on behalf of Turro, Claudia via cbc-everyone Date: Tuesday, April 2, 2024 at 2:19?PM To: cbc-everyone at lists.osu.edu Subject: FW: Preparing for possible severe weather Everyone ? Please see communication from OSU leadership below regarding possible severe weather. OSU and most of the state of Ohio is facing a serious threat of a severe weather outbreak including long track and violent tornadoes tomorrow (Tuesday 4/2). In advance of this potential severe weather outbreak, it is important to remember the following precautions and safety guidelines to prepare for the possibility for a tornado that impacts our campus. Please read and implement the following information: If you hear sirens, that means a tornado warning has been issued. Hearing them is your signal that you need to seek shelter immediately. Sirens will go off when the threat has passed. If they come back on, that means there is an additional threat. Here are a few things to keep in mind: In the event a tornado warning is issued for campus, a warning siren will sound and/or a Buckeye alert will notify students and staff that a warning is active. *JUST BECAUSE THE SIREN STOPS DOES NOT MEAN THE WARNING IS OVER. In some cases, the warning sirens are stopped and then restarted in order to bring them to people?s attention and to avoid complacency with an ongoing siren. Consult the NOAA weather radio warning system to determine if the warning is still ongoing or if it has been cancelled. You may purchase a NOAA weather radio online, at stores such as Walmart, etc. (https://www.weather.gov/nwr&ln_desc=NOAA+Weather+Radio/) How to stay safe during a tornado warning: * If you are teaching: It is strongly advised that you stop teaching and seek shelter in an appropriate safe place in the building where you are. This location should be on the lowest floor, in a room without windows, ideally towards the middle of the building. (Think of it as akin to a fire alarm, but instead of going outside, move to lower levels and away from windows.) * If you are indoors: Go to the lowest level of a STURDY structure, preferably a basement. Whether you are in a basement or not, go to a CENTRAL ROOM with NO WINDOWS. Put as many walls between you and the exterior as possible. Tornado injuries and fatalities occur as a result of flying debris. *Mobile homes/trailers are never safe to shelter in. * If you are in a public place (like a store or restaurant): Get OUT of the area with large open spaces and move to a small room like a restroom, a refrigerator/freezer, or dressing room. * If you are outdoors: GET INSIDE the nearest sturdy shelter/campus building if possible. If you are walking on campus, DO NOT GO HOME. In the time it takes for you to walk home, a tornado could be bearing down. If it is not possible to get inside, find a low-lying area away from hazards such as power lines and trees when possible. Lie down and cover your head with your hands. * If you are in a car: If it is safe to pull over and get to a sturdy structure, do so. If you are travelling and there are no buildings around, continue driving if you can maintain a clear view of blue sky or the horizon ahead. However, most storms approach from the west or south. It is not advisable to continue to drive into a storm. DO NOT SEEK SHELTER UNDER A BRIDGE! Bridges act like wind tunnels and accelerate the wind. If you are in immediate danger of being hit by a tornado, stay in your vehicle, buckle your seatbelt, put a jacket, blanket or other protectant over your head, and lean over below the windshield and windows to protect yourself from flying glass. * Never seek shelter in a trailer or mobile home. Mobile homes are not safe in any circumstances. Make arrangements with neighbors, friends, or family to stay with them on days when severe weather watches are issued locally. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2024 16:19:11 +0000 Subject: [Preplabstudents] Spring 2024- Week 14 Message-ID: Hi All, Week 14 starts tomorrow! We have only 1250 meeting tomorrow. The remainder of the semester will be spent working on housekeeping tasks to get us ready for summer and fall labs. Please recall that our schedule has changed for the remainder of the semester: 4/8 we will open at 7:30am and close at noon. 4/9-4/22 we will open at 8:00am and close at 6:00pm. 4/23 is our end of semester party in 1015 McPherson lab. [cid:image003.png at 01DA88E5.C5F07750] Experiment Notes-Refer to the window notes and gather sheets for additional details. LCP We?ll need to put a cooler of ice on the third floor- it should be filled from the machine on the first floor. Be prepared to replace burets, 5 mL pipets, and blue bulbs. Salt is not necessary for this experiment. Other Important Information- Summer The prep lab will be open over the summer. We will have labs running on Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30am-2:55pm. We?re happy to have as many of you around as possible. We?ll spend non-lab days working on packing unknowns and getting yearly tasks completed. The schedule is flexible, and we currently don?t have anyone that has committed to working over the summer. If you are interested, or have any questions, please let me know. Fall Scheduling The schedule for fall was opened to all prep lab students last week. It looks like there are still about 20 of you that have not entered a schedule. If you considering not returning to the prep lab please let me know. Otherwise, please get your hours scheduled as soon as you are able. If you need help scheduling, please reach out. Compensating for reduced hours I know that our modified hours will have an impact on the income of students that work primarily in the evenings. If you would like to add some hours during the day to offset this, please reach out.
