Safety tips

Electrical safety

An appliance which repeatedly blows a fuse or trips a circuit breaker could indicate a defect that may cause a fire or electrical shock. Unplug the appliance immediately and have it repaired or replaced.

Don't forget to log volunteer hours

May 9, 2008

Lab employees' volunteer efforts to be recognized

Laboratory employees have logged more than 20,400 new hours of volunteer service through Volunteer Match.

This summer, the Laboratory will host a "Making the Difference" event to recognize the volunteer efforts of its employees and retirees. Laboratory employees and retirees who register their volunteer service hours will receive an invitation to the event and be recognized with an appreciation gift. In addition, recognition awards will be given to the nonprofit organization the volunteer supports based on the following criteria:

• 100 to 249 hours - $100
• 250 to 500 hours - $250
• 500 hours or more - $500

In order to be recognized, employees and retirees need to register the volunteer hours they served at any non-profit 501 (c) (3) during 2007. Volunteer hours should be registered and tracked on VolunteerMatch. Registration of hours on VolunteerMatch must be completed by May 30.

See an all-employee memo from Laboratory Director Michael Anastasio.

VolunteerMatch is a national, non-profit organization that seeks to match non-profit and tax exempt organizations with volunteers. All Laboratory employees, contractors and retirees can access the program and look for volunteer opportunities anywhere in the United States.
