Code 234 motorpool will issue, with the keys, the attached cautionary flyer when a 15-passenger van is signed out by a non-professional driver.

In addition, the Center receives information from the Government/Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) concerning product recalls. In an effort to keep employees informed of recalls that may affect you at work and at home, Code 300 has created a GSFC Safe Alerts web site. Alerts are entered as they are received in the Systems Safety and Reliability Office. Employees may read about the below listing and other important recall alerts at the following web-site address: http://ssro.gsfc.nasa.gov/Safety_Alerts/safealert.html
