Safety
These pages are intended to be a resource for information about safety in the workplace. The information has been presented in categories which relate directly to day to day safety issues.
There is a legal and moral requirement on the School and all persons who work in the School to be fully aware of safety in the workplace. It is the responsibility of all persons to ensure they are conversant with safe practice BEFORE carrying out laboratory and non-laboratory based procedures.
