1.1
Staff and Students Staff should: •
Take action to eliminate, avoid or minimise hazards of which they are aware.
•
Comply with all occupational health and safety instructions, policies and procedures.
•

•
Wear appropriate protective clothing and footwear at all times.
•
Only consume or storing food and drink in designated areas
•
Be familiar with emergency and evacuation procedures and the location of, and if appropriately trained, the use of, emergency equipment.
•
1.2
Report all incidents, hazards and 'near-misses'.
Students Students must in particular:
•
Wear shoes that fully cover their feet (bare feet, thongs or opentoed sandals are unacceptable). Students with inappropriate foot wear will not be permitted in the laboratory.
•
Wear appropriate clothing to avoid safety hazafrads.
•

•
Comply with the instructions of academic/technical staff and any safety notices.
•
Must remain within designated areas.
•
Not touch any equipment unless instructed by responsible academic/technical staff.
2. Working Alone Definitions •
‘Working Alone’ : performance of any work by any individual who is out of audio or visual range of another person for more than a few minutes at a time.
•
‘Second Person’ : An observer in a ‘one person’ job whose responsibility it to be a safety watch for the solitary worker, when an incapacitating accident is possible.
•
‘Incapacitating Accident’ : One that makes the victim incapable of obtaining help.
2.2
Guidelines •
Any non routine job function with identifiable safety hazards in which the probability of an accident occurring is sufficient to warrant the presence of more than one person.
•
It is recognised that even the simplest of tasks contain certain hazards and hence working without a second person is to be avoided.
3.
Laboratory Security For reasons of both safety and security, use of the laboratory outside normal working hours in the absence of technical staff is subject to prior approval from the Laboratory Director and such permission, when granted will apply only to the applicant, who will be expected to justify the need for such use, the duration and the lab areas/equipment which are intended to be used.
