July 8 Briefs Excerpts: 

Demolition/Construction to Close Parking Areas Near Accelerator Site Entrance 
Demolition of the two Radiation Control Department trailers and Building 52 is expected to begin on July 13 and will take about one month. The parking area around these buildings will be closed beginning the evening of July 10 and will remain closed until construction of the new EHS&Q building on the same site is complete in 2016. A sketch showing the area to be blocked can be found on the linked all-staff memo. All personnel are reminded to stay out of this area. If you have any questions about this project, contact Suresh Chandra at x7248. Link: https://www.jlab.org/memo/demolitionconstruction-close-parking-areas-near-accelerator-site-entrance 

Summer Brings out Local Wildlife and Insects 
Construction and land-clearing adjacent to Jefferson Lab has disturbed the habitat of a variety of wildlife, and natural and manmade landscapes found both indoors and outdoors on site may seem attractive for some of these animals, reptiles and insects. While most are harmless, some wildlife can be disruptive to lab operations. If wildlife poses an immediate threat to Jefferson Lab workers or a suspected protected species is observed, immediately report what you have observed to Jefferson Lab security at 269-5822 or to Facilities Management & Logistics at x7400. If you are stung or bitten, report to Occupational Medicine in the Support Service Center (Bldg. 28) as soon as feasible, since prompt medical care can help prevent infection and complications that could result in unnecessary pain and lost work. For guidance on avoiding unintentional encounters with wildlife and for more information, see the all-staff memo: https://www.jlab.org/memo/construction-adjacent-lab-and-summer-season-brings-out-local-wildlife-and-insects 

Tornado Warning Siren Test Set for Friday, July 10 
Jefferson Lab's tornado warning siren will undergo its monthly operational test at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 10. Don't respond to the siren; this is only a test of the siren system. Individuals planning to be in the Central Materials Storage Area during the test must wear two layers of hearing protection.
