SAFETY FIRST

Chuck Landrum, II is the Lockheed Martin Safety Engineer for the Basic and Applied Research Department. Among many, his duties includes performing safety inspections for the Lunar Curatorial Facility and areas in sample curation. Since this is a clean facility, he rarely, if ever, finds any safety problems. He looks for tripping hazards, damaged wiring, sharp edges, UL listed equipment and any other hazards. There are no hazardous chemicals in the lunar processing laboratories, so this decreases the possibility of mishaps of this sort. He does a safety inspection of the entire facility every two months. Everyone is accountable for safety responsibilities and should become involved in identifying any hazards so that they can be eliminated.

Foremost, Chuck wants everyone to understand the JSC safety policy. To date, he is very pleased with the condition of the Lunar facilities. We welcome Chuck and challenge him to help us, as always to keep safety first and up front.
