Orbach Calls on Scientists to Help Displaced Researchers

To match displaced individuals with host grant recipients, the Office of Science has set up a clearinghouse. On a case-by-case basis, modest supplemental funding may be available to existing programs to facilitate the process. For more information, see the letter and visit the Hurricane Relief Page.

| Free Checkups, Guidance Highlight Lab's Health Fair |
||
|

|
Lunchtime in Wilson Hall last Thursday brought more to hungry employees than sushi and Southwestern turkey wraps. Table displays representing 17 health organizations filled the Wilson Hall Atrium for the Fermilab Health Fair as doctors, nurses, health educators and masseuses offered free information and health checks to passerby.
Some Fermilab employees wandered from table to table, filling their hands with fliers. Others took a more hands-on approach by sacrificing their fingers for a cholesterol check pinprick or sitting down for a lengthy back massage. On the West side of the atrium, Randy King rode his bike at 16 mph on a set of stationary rollers while advocating the Fox Valley Bicycle & Ski Club, and doctors from Hinley Chiropractic Center performed nervous system tests. Bernie Dugan, of Laboratory Services, originated the fair in 1993. With the help of the Wellness Committee, she has held the reigns for the mostly annual event ever since. Eileen Berman, of the Computing Division, had her cholesterol checked at the fair. "It may not be a full-blown medical exam, but they may be able to alert you that you should go to a doctor and then really have it checked out," she said. The fair also exposes employees to aspects of health they're not familiar with, said Bill Hallow, of the Midwest Center for Sleep Disorders. Many people are unaware of sleep disorders and their dangers, Hallow said. For instance, sleep apnea, which causes the throat to become blocked for short periods during sleep, often is linked to hypertension and heart disease.
"Rather than waiting for someone to develop heart disease or have the stroke, we treat the cause, sleep apnea, to prevent the symptoms from occurring," Hallow said.

ES&H perspectives – David Cathey |
||
Clutter — Clutter makes it easy for things to fall. Items can fall onto people or people can fall from slips/trips. Clutter can also create mixing problems by bunching together incompatible items. Examples include hot components and combustible/flammable materials or toxic materials used on an eating surface. 3131 — Half (…yes, half…) of the people who David queries do not know the Lab's emergency phone number. He carries self-adhesive emergency number stickers to label phones. Please make sure your phone has this sticker. Ergonomics — When people get moved to a new work area, they do not always make sure they get keyboards and chairs that are sufficiently adjustable. Electrical or Mechanical Problems — Electrical or mechanical problems in or around the work area can be hazardous. Don't just ignore it; call 3434 to get repairs done. Flammable liquids — At the end of your work shift flammable liquids must be stored in an appropriate flammable liquid storage cabinet. Also, don't forget about labeling the container. Space heaters — Portable electric space heaters must be UL approved and have a tip-over switch. When the heater is tipped over the heater will shutoff automatically. Old ones keep showing up that do not meet these requirements. |
