July 20 Briefs Excerpts: 

Jefferson Lab Public Address System Test Set for Today at 5:30 p.m. 
Emergency Management Team staff will conduct the monthly test of Jefferson Lab’s Public Address System – the live audible announcement feature – available through the lab’s Cisco phones. The test is conducted after normal business hours, because it interrupts any in-progress call on a Cisco phone. Active calls are automatically put on “hold.” As soon as the announcement has ended, the Jefferson Lab person may re-activate the call. For more information, see the full memo: https://www.jlab.org/memo/jlab-will-test-its-public-address-system-0

Inspector General’s Office to Give Fraud Awareness Briefing July 27 
A representative from the Department of Energy Inspector General’s Office will be at Jefferson Lab on Wednesday, July 27, to raise awareness about criminal fraud.

The briefing will take place 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. in ARC Bldg. conference room 231/233. Seating is somewhat limited, so this presentation is first-come, first-served.
