Message from Berkeley Lab Director Paul Alivisatos on Road Safety “At Berkeley Lab, Road Safety is just as important as safety in our labs, shops, and offices… Traffic and pedestrian safety are priorities for us …Plus we continue to promote safe driving through a contract with UC Police which helps to enforce California laws on our site… Lab Management is committed to safety, and we ask each of you to take responsibility foryour own safety as well as the safety of others on the road. With our increased constructionactivity, let’s all be more patient and alert. We want to foster a culture of safety that ouremployees can take home and in turn inspire others…” For the entire clip, go to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AthuV0GAFss&feature=player_embedded#!
