The OEHS Outstanding Staff Person for 2012 is Andy Glode.

Andy  is the Laboratory Safety Officer for the campus.  As part of maintaining a safe and healthful work environment for faculty, staff,  students and visitors, he manages the campus laboratory safety program, the hazardous materials shipping program and the toxic substances control act program.  Andy serves as the liaison to the UNH Chemical Safety Committee and provides updates to the Committee on safety audits, chemical inventories, UNH CEMS updates and emergency preparedness.  He is the primary point-of-contact for all campus laboratory renovation projects including the recently renovated research and instructional laboratories in Parsons Hall. Of particular note, at the request of the State Fire Marshal and Durham Fire Department, Andy worked with Phil Collins in RCI to institute a notification system in the CEMS chemical inventory system which will automatically send alert emails when flammable liquid inventories are approached or exceeded in a laboratory.  UNH has certainly benefited from his 12 years of work experience in the safety field.

Since joining OEHS in 2001, Andy has demonstrated his ability to work with all members of the UNH community and outside consultants.   He balances many programs and commitments effectively and approaches UNH employee requests for assistance with respect and professionalism.  Within the Office, he is a valued team member who never hesitates to assist in other program areas when asked.  In support of the OEHS mission, Andy is a true advocate for the UNH community to enjoy working in a safe and healthful environment.
