Cancer Clinical Trials Office Blog

The Office of Facilities Planning and Management (OFPM) has installed QR Code signage in all SoM building restrooms.  The QR Code will enable our community to more easily and efficiently report any facility-related issues in our restrooms.

Below are steps on how they work:

1. Open the camera on your Smartphone.
2. Scan the QR Code. 
3. Log in with your SUNet ID to be directed to the Request Portal.
4. Type in the issue/request; the building and room location will be automatically populated. 
5. If possible, upload a picture of the issue for clarity. 
6. Click on “Submit” and the request will be sent directly to our workflow team for dispatch.

See the attached photos for more details.

Thank you for your support in keeping our community safe and clean.

 Hi staff, 

As many of you likely already read, Stanford has established zones to define access for approved staff, students, etc. This means you will need to wear your badge high up on your person, so it is easily viewable to uniformed safety officers monitoring the zones. 

In effort to make this transition simple for you, we would like to remind you that the CCTO Admin Team has lanyards and badge wheels available onsite for you to obtain. 

If you would like a badge wheel or lanyard, please email ccto-admin@stanford.edu. We will help you coordinate a pickup of one of these items. 

The university is developing a process for providing lanyards to faculty, staff, and postdocs. More information on how lanyards will be distributed will be shared via student communications and Health Alerts in the coming days. 

As a reminder, any time you are coming to campus you must always complete the Healthcheck BEFORE entering any campus building. The COVID-19 Hygiene Training must be completed as well, however, this only needs to be done once. 

If you have any questions you may reach out to the admin team or you may find more information here. 

Thank you, 

Admin Team 

Did you know? You can use Purple Air or AIRNow to monitor the air quality outside. Purple Air Map provides crowd sourced real time updates, while AIRNow provides official air quality readings from the EPA.

Additional information about wildfire smoke awareness can be found here: https://ehs.stanford.edu/topic/general-workplace-safety/protection-from-wildfire-smoke.

In the events of wildfire smoke, you are encouraged to take the following steps to address your personal health and comfort:

• Curtail outdoor activities that are not essential or time sensitive. Please consult with your manager if you have questions or special health needs.
• For more susceptible populations including older adults, children, and those with pulmonary/respiratory conditions, minimize time spent outdoors.
• Limit strenuous outdoor activity where possible.
• When indoors, keep windows and doors closed.
• In vehicles, use air-recirculation mode.
• Drink plenty of water to help minimize potential irritation.
• Consult with your health care provider if you experience smoke-related health issues.

We hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy during this time. As we continue our operations at 800 Welch, we are still accepting packages during this time. As you all know, our department is large, space is limited, and boxes are abundant.

Safety is our priority at the CCTO, so please ensure your team’s boxes, paperwork, ladders, whiteboards, and other miscellaneous materials are not blocking hallways, cubical aisles, and emergency egress ways. All main aisle ways must have a three-foot clearance with no physical hazards, and as a reminder, tops of shelves should be clear of bulky, heavy, tippable, and fragile items.

Thank you for helping keep our office emergency compliant and safe.
