Safety Shout Out
This month’s Safety Shout Out goes to Travis LaVoi! Travis is a Lab Manager II for the FIU Center of Translational Science (CTS) in Port St. Lucie, FL. Travis has always been a strong advocate of safety and compliance; running a tight ship when it comes to research lab compliance and operations. Since joining FIU in 2019, Travis has played a key role in implementing and streamlining procedures pertaining to waste collection and disposal, safety training compliance, and compliance inspections. Travis has been instrumental in spearheading EH&S compliance initiatives. His colleague describes Travis as someone who takes safety very seriously, is always amenable to suggestions, and does his best to work with labs to maintain safety regulations while respecting the work they do. Thank you, Travis, for being a champion for safety at CTS. To nominate a fellow Panther, click the "Nominate" button below.
