Safety

Safety is an integral part of life and work at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. We are committed to ensuring that all research and educational activities are performed in a safe and proper way. This includes conducting safety training before beginning work in any laboratory or facility, ensuring that everyone is well-prepared to respond to an emergency, and ensuring that safety rules and regulations are followed at all times.

All staff, students, visitors and contractors are strictly required to comply with the safety rules and regulations established by the University and the School. Click on the links below to find out more.

SPMS Safety Objective 2023

50% of SPMS PIs are to carry out at least one safety walk in their lab and record their observations by 30 November 2023

As part of continual improvement to our safety culture, SPMS has put in place a PI safety walk as this year’s safety objective. This safety objective has the purpose to demonstrate care for our staff and student, instilling safe work practices and reducing the incidence of at-risk work behaviours by top management.  We seek your support and strong participation in this programme.
