MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY OFFICE OF FACILITIES MANAGEMENT & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

THIS IS A COSMIC HORROR FREE WORK ENVIRONMENT

In order to comply with State and Federal law, the university has enacted policies designed to hide humanity from the baleful gaze of the Old Ones. Extra­dimensional summonings and other unspeakable necromantic rites will not be tolerated. Please report to your Lab Manager, Unit Supervisor, or to your HR Liason any of the following:

This work place maintains the highest standards of conduct and civility, including respect for the boundaries of the space­time continuum. Remember, the dead gods of alien civilizations undermine productivity and professionalism. Safety is everyone’s responsibility.

1 The souls of contract researchers and post­doctoral affiliates may be offered on designated altars “when the stars are right” (e.g. during NIH, NSF, or NEH granting cycles or other similarly nightmarish incursions from eldritch realities forever beyond human comprehension, see: Office of Sponsored Projects Handbook ­ Section 4b: ‘Grant Management Reporting, Blood­Payment Accounting Rules and Institutional Cost­Sharing’). 2 Exceptions: (a) Communications from the Office of the Chancellor; (b) departmental colloquia
