LEC Safety Induction
Event box
All new LEC staff, visitors and PGR students must have a Departmental Safety Induction given by the Departmental Health and Safety Officer (Annette Ryan). This induction will set the level of safety awareness needed to work safely in a large science department. Individuals must sign up to a Safety Induction within the first three months of starting. Laboratory users must also have a laboratory specific safety induction.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 places a legal obligation on all employers to ensure as far as is reasonably practicable, the Health, Safety and Welfare of all their employees. It also requires all employees, including students to comply with any health and safety rules or guidelines issued to them. Everyone is responsible for taking reasonable steps to ensure the safety of themselves, and any others who may be affected by their activities within the department.
Health and safety isn't just a tick-box exercise, nor is it seeking to find someone to blame. There are very good legal and moral reasons that it exists. The department’s goal is to promote a safe, healthy and secure working environment and to ensure good working practice.
