Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Kim Jeskie led the 12-member committee that developed new chemical safety guidelines described in the report, “Identifying and Evaluating Hazards in Research Laboratories,” released by the American Chemical Society at its 246th National Meeting and Exposition held in September.

Jeskie was also appointed last spring to serve on the National Research Council Committee on Establishing and Promoting a Culture of Safety in Academic Laboratory Research. That panel is examining chemical research laboratory safety in nonindustrial settings.

She is the 2013 past chair of the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety. At ORNL, Jeskie directs the Integrated Operations Support Division, where she is responsible for work planning and hazards analysis systems and tools. She lives in Harriman.

    “She lives in Harriman.” Smart lady. ORNL – and Y-12 – have lots of intelligent people who know the value of low taxes and more bang for your buck in housing. Somehow I doubt they are complaining about the lack of retail and shoe stores, but I suspect they ARE laughing all the way to the bank.

      So you’re admitting that you’re not one of the “intelligent” people because you live in OR? You seem to be so unhappy here.
