You must always be accompanied by your host in the department. We place a very high value on Health & Safety and we will ensure that this visit is a safe one.
Visitors who are using our facilities must go through two Health and Safety Inductions:
one with Departmental Safety Office where you discuss your individual projects and risks (BEFORE you start in the lab, please arrange this appointment directly with the Office),
and another 'General' safety induction if you are staying longer than a week (please contact the Safety Office regarding dates).
