Safety is of the utmost importance when you are handling chemical products or other hazardous materials. In 2012, Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) labels were officially made a part of OSHA’s required hazard communication standards. This means that chemical manufacturers and other industry professionals are legally required to adhere to these labeling requirements. GHS-compliant labels don’t always look exactly the same, but six specific GHS label requirements must always be followed:

Last year, we at LEM changed our tradition of hosting a holiday luncheon to holding a silent auction that focused on holiday gifts. Our staff bid on toys and got a head start on their holiday shopping, with all proceeds from the auction being donated to a charity. In 2021 we continued this new tradition and held our second annual Silent Auction that’s proceeds surpassed last year’s achievement.

Helping Veterans and First Responders

This year, the proceeds from our auction are being donated to the Tunnels for Towers Foundation, a charitable foundation that provides mortgage-free smart homes for catastrophically-injured veterans and first responders. The smart homes are designed and built to accommodate wheelchair access with wider doors and hallways, automated door openers, automated lighting, and much more to help these veterans and first responders reclaim day-to-day independence.

As 2021 comes to a close, we are grateful that we are able to continue to support noble causes like the Tunnels to Towers Foundation and give back to those who have sacrificed so greatly for our country.

Electricity powers our lives. Without it, many of us couldn’t enjoy our morning coffee, fulfill our work responsibilities, place an order at the convenience store, or enjoy many of the other facets of the everyday. Without electricity, many industries would be crippled back to the eras of the Dark Ages. However, electricity is a powerful elemental force. Its use requires essential safety considerations to be made at home, on the road, and in the workplace. Which is why we have Electrical Safety Month.

Since 1994, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day has been celebrated with AmeriCorps as a national day of service. Every year on the third Monday in January, the federal government celebrates the holiday by halting postal service, trash collection, and various other government happenings. Some companies, businesses, and organizations follow suit with incentive programs to help their employees get involved in the efforts. This year, LEM Products, Inc. participated by making our contribution to Global Citizen 365’s free COVID-19 testing site at Girard College. 

About MLK Day of Service

Americorps has proudly dubbed MLK Day “a day on, not a day off” in an effort to increase participation in the national day of service. The expressed goal of the initiative is to strengthen and facilitate community building and improvement efforts. 

Though MLK Day National Day of Service is a federal holiday, The Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service is among the largest service projects in the nation. Partnered with Global Citizen 365, The Greater Philadelphia MLK Day project spurs initiatives in the Philadelphia area year-round. 

This year, the pandemic brings a unique opportunity to service our community. As Philadelphia deals with the long term consequences of global pandemic, varying states of lockdown, and the urgency to provide relief, Global Citizen 365 has seen it imperative to provide free testing to Philadelphians at Girard College. 

How LEM Products, Inc. Is Taking Part

Our contribution to this effort is freely supplying stickers and decals to the event. Working directly with the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium, Global Citizen 365’s signature event is a massive leap forward toward the accessibility of COVID-19 testing in Philadelphia. 

Our labels are a direct nod to the Black doctors that make Philadelphia great, the devastating effect of Covid-19’s legacy, and the importance of moving forward with hope in mind. Global Citizen 365 provided us with images of Black doctors that have made history, as well as some of the organizations involved with this event. 

The decals featured the Black doctors and Black Americans who have contributed to medical advancements worldwide. To name a few of the notable individuals featured on labels, Dr. Ala Stanford is the founder of the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium, and she was recently awarded the Harris Wofford Citizenship work for her ongoing contributions to Philadelphia’s struggle with the pandemic. 

Other individuals featured on the decals will include: 

• Henrietta Lacks, the Black woman whose cells were taken without her permission and immortalized through their contribution to cancer research, the polio vaccine, and countless other advancements. 
• Kizzmekia Corbett, a Black viral immunologist leading the charge in the creation of an accessible COVID-19 vaccine.
• Marilyn Hughes Gaston, the first Black woman to direct the Bureau of Primary Healthcare and pioneer of Philadelphia Sickle Cell Anemia research.
• James McCune Smith, the first Black pharmacist in the nation and passionate abolitionist, physician, and author.
