Welcome back to OPP and the first issue of News & Views of 2013. I hope all of you had a restful break with safe travels.

I'm looking forward to an exciting and successful new year.

Have a great week,

Safety Record

               

Falling Snow
 
We've had a nice start to the new year with no accidents yet to report. 
 
To keep your drive safe, please be sure to remove the ice and snow from the top of your vehicle before driving to or from work. Snow and ice can easily blow off the top of your vehicle creating a hazard for those driving behind you.

Also, please avoid using Asbestos Snow, no matter how fire proof, clean, or white it looks.
 
As always, please report all safety hazards, near miss incidents and safety success stories. 
 
E-mail us at OPPsafety@psu.edu.
Call us at 863-2340.
Visit us, or even drop a note outside our office in 103 Physical Plant
Welcomes and Farewells

 

This week we say hello and goodbye to OPP employees. Please take a moment to reach out to both.

 

Welcome

 

Vanessa Bierly is the Systems Engineering Specialist. She is coming to OPP from the College of Engineering, and she worked for several years at G.O. Hawbaker where she gained experience in construction management and engineering processes. Her first day was Wednesday. 

 

Farewell

 

Tina Schultz-Ebersole will be leaving her position as a Custodian this Monday. We wish her well as she moves on to a new position in Auxiliary & Business Services.

Cheers

 

Thank you to everyone who brought in winter gear and home goods for the Hurricane Holiday Help. 

 

Several OPP employees and community members drove to New Jersey over the break to deliver the supplies and assist with homeless shelters and relief efforts.

Carpooling

 

You can find a list of carpoolers and regional bus services through the RideShare Program and a full list of all transportation options at the new Transportation Services site.

 

Or you can contact Alex Novak to post a request in News & Views
