Health and Safety

The Head of the School of Physics and Astronomy is responsible for health and safety within the School and its buildings and requires all persons who enter the buildings for any purpose to take reasonable care of the health and safety of themselves and of others. The School's Health and Safety Officer is listed in the Key contacts section of this handbook. The School's safety policy is available from the School's Health and Safety webpage.

Lists of first aiders, their locations, and their contact numbers, are displayed on notices in the building. If you require first aid, please contact a first aider, or ask any member of staff to do this for you. Mrs Linda Cousins in the School Office is one of the first aiders.

First aid boxes are located at the main entrance, in the School Office, outside room 301, outside the honours teaching labs, and at the lift entrances. The nearest first aid box is noted on the first aid notices around the building. An emergency evacuation chair for those with mobility difficulties is in the corridor outside room 301.

Anyone who is in the JF Allen building outside the time during which there is janitor cover should sign in and out in the late working book at the janitors' desk.
