This month's Safety Star recognizes Randi Famula for her outstanding contributions to research safety and regulatory compliance. Through her leadership and collaborative approach, she helps foster a safe and successful research community at UC Davis.
Long before she led emergency preparedness, managed risk or helped guide the university through the COVID-19 pandemic, Gaby was a UC Davis student with a clipboard standing at the corner of Hutchison Drive and California Avenue counting cyclists wearing helmets as part of a campus safety survey.
After more than 25 years in environmental health and safety, Tarran Richardson retires from UC Davis with a legacy of dedication, expertise, and impact. From supporting critical operations at the Medical Center Blood Bank to shaping campuswide safety programs, his work strengthened laboratory and workplace safety while leaving a lasting impression on colleagues and the broader campus community.
Safety Services has achieved a remarkable 99% compliance rate with this Cal/OSHA requirement, after redesigning the annual IIPP process to be more efficient and user-friendly.
