Engineering Phase 2 Research Restart Safety Plan
SUBMISSIONS CAN BE MADE STARTING MAY 28, 2020

UCI’s Phase 2 research activities consist of Phase 1 “critical” (or “essential”) research plus research activities that may pose lower risk for virus transmission ("Guiding Principles contained in the Vice Chancellor’s May 11 message: https://news.research.uci.edu/research-continuity/research-ramp-up/points-of-consideration/"). All Phase 2 Research activities (including previously approved Phase 1 “essential” research) require approval and will consist of no more than 30% of pre-pandemic levels at any given time.

In order for a PI/Center to begin Phase 2 research in the Samueli School of Engineering (SSoE), the campus must be open for Phase 2 and each PI/Center must complete BOTH (1) a 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝟐 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 (submitted via this Google form); and (2) a 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝟐 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦 (submitted via an email to legreene@uci.edu for routing).
𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙬𝙤 𝙙𝙤𝙘𝙪𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝘿𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝙁𝙤𝙪𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙖-𝙂𝙚𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙖𝙗 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨.

𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩: SSoE’s priority remains the health, safety and well-being of its employees. No researcher (especially students and post-docs) and no research staff should be compelled to work on campus. By submitting this Plan, the PI/Center (“Plan Owners”) confirm that this is communicated to their individual researchers and that no disciplinary or retaliatory action shall be taken for those who choose not to work in campus during Phase 2.

The documents below must be reviewed to make an assessment (https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1EelimxLH2WkyxjHnkP5b4eRYNh5qfjTR) of your research space and program, per State of CA guidelines, prior to developing your 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝟐 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 below.

To assist with transitioning safely into Phase 2 research restart, SSoE has supplies available. These supplies are considered stocked for your assessment.

1. 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝟐 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧: Please describe the research activities that will occur in your lab/Center and the necessity of these activities to be performed on campus as part of Phase 2. *
2. Number of people in your group who will be coming to campus during Phase 2, including yourself. (This will also be used for mask distribution.) *
3. List the building(s), room number(s), ~square feet and max personnel for your research space covered under this 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝟐 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧. *
4. My 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝟐 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 is to follow the Samueli School of Engineering's guidelines/protocols as defined in the "Engineering Laboratory Protocol For Phase 2 Research Operations" document (https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1GsHr1xQrgxGzz0gckQEQc8DdS9Y6LO-W) and OR's Point of Consideration: https://news.research.uci.edu/research-continuity/research-ramp-up/points-of-consideration/? *
4a1. RESEARCH SPACE & PHYSICAL DISTANCING: My 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝟐 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 includes determining the max occupancy of each of laboratory and office space based on conservative current guidelines with an occupancy sign posted outside each room and high-use areas marked with vinyl tape. Only one person at a time may occupy any enclosed space less than 250 sq ft. (Note: Assistance is available from Engineering Facilities. Please contact Dennis Aldridge: daldridg@uci.edu, (949) 824-9246.) *
4a2. RESEARCH SPACE & PHYSICAL DISTANCING: My 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝟐 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 includes having an easily accessible online schedule for all lab members to ensure that each laboratory/room does not exceed the determined occupancy limits. The schedule includes assigned and staggered cleaning before and after shifts and I will work with the PIs on my building floor to stagger shifts if necessary. (Note: The PI/Center, if possible, should schedule it so that personnel who share shifts should remain consistent over time to limit number of per person contacts. Shared space must be coordinated between PIs/Centers.) 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙧. *
