Welcome
The purpose of this organization is to foster intercommunication between health, safety, environmental and laboratory professionals within the Pacific Northwest’s biotechnology and biomedical community. The organization accomplishes its purpose by providing a forum for its members. This forum promotes sharing of information, group problem solving, networking and interaction, discussion of common regulatory issues, and education. Our safety issues are both as challenging and rewarding as the rigorous R&D efforts of the organizations we represent.

Corporate Audit
Joleen Weese RBP, CHMM has been in Safety for over 8 years and in the scientific research realm for 20 years. She is currently the Environmental Health and Safety Manager at Juno Therapeutics, A Celgene Company where she has worked for the last 3 and a half years. Her talk will cover a recent internal audit and inspection covering all EHS programs from the corporate internal audit team from Celgene. She will briefly cover: prep work, materials, what to say what not to say, and communications to employees. She will also cover some results from the audit and what action plans look like to fix them. All of these skills can be used for any audit/inspection you may come across in EHS. From this talk you should be able to take away some useful tips and tricks to getting yourself ready for the next planned or “surprise” audit!
Emergency Preparedness
Ally Ganyo has been in the Environmental Health and Safety field for over 5 years. With a recent change in job role, remaining in the EHS field, she is currently the Research Emergency Preparedness Program Manager at Seattle Children’s Research Institute. Her presentation will discuss what emergency preparedness looks like for the research institute and how the program has evolved over the past year. She will provide examples of emergency preparedness supplies, incident response, and future goals for the program. Her hope for the presentation is that it provides you with ideas for your emergency preparedness program and to encourage information sharing surrounding preparedness and the potential of working together in a disaster scenario.
