Safety is a priority at LLE. Shown on top, LLE facilities Manager, John Sawyer, Tyler Critelli, a co-op student from the Rochester Institute of Technology, and Chemical Safety Officer, Ken Marshall, flush the emergency shower in the mechanical room as part of a periodic testing procedure that helps clear the supply lines of sediment and bacteria build-up that is caused by stagnant water. Proper maintenance, regular testing, and visual checking are necessary to ensure that emergency showers and eyewash stations function safely and properly.
