Terms and conditions: What does the “legalese” say?
“I have been assigned and accept responsibility for the property on the accountability statement as stipulated in the Laboratory’s Administrative Manual, Section 701, which includes “exercising the same degree of care that a reasonably prudent person would use to protect his or her property from loss or damage, including misuse and misappropriations.” With the exceptions noted above, I attest that the information on the accountability statement is correct to the best of my knowledge. I agree to immediately report any loss, damage, or suspected theft of the property assigned to me to my line manager, Security and Safeguards Division, and my property administrator. I also agree to make the property available for inventory or inspection upon request.
