Christie Killduff also reported that there is a problem with the area where the cadaver refrigerator is located. Rocky Bonura reported that he is aware of the situation. There seems to be an issue not with this particular area itself but with Facilities Staff repairing the refrigerator.

The employee who contacted Cal/OSHA stated that he was overcome by fumes while working in this area where the cadaver refrigerator was located. Christie Killduff stated that she would recommend that the staff in the Natural Sciences area should open the doors to the room where the refrigerator is located in order to keep this room well ventilated. Rocky Bonura stated that he will be discussing this issue in detail with Facilities staff at a later time.
Christie Killduff also reported that a work order was submitted on July 9 th to have the refrigerator for the cat specimens repaired which still has not been completed.
