Hi All,
Following yesterday afternoon’s incident in Wilcox Hall in which a battery malfunction initiated the fire alarm to go off, I would like to share a safety sheet on lithium batteries from EH&S. Manufacturer’s defects are an unfortunate possibility and knowledge about these situations are important in lab and building safety. Please review and reach out with any questions or concerns.
* Currently there is still a burnt odor on the 2nd floor of Wilcox and that is being dealt with and should dissipate over the next few days.
