General and specific considerations were used as a basis for the recommended number of FAs appropriate for each area of Biology, as detailed in the table below.
Area |
Comments |
Recommended No. of First Aiders |
Block A (1 level) (Laboratories) |
Minimum of 1 FA recommended for this block. |
1 |
Block B (Lecture Theatres / Meeting Rooms) |
1 FA adequate to cover Blocks B & C |
1 |
Block C (Offices) |
||
Block D (2 levels) (Labs + Offices) |
|
2 |
Block E (2 levels) (Labs +Workshops + Offices) |
FAs to cover Blocks E & F (2 in BSF (F, level 2)) |
4 |
Block F (3 levels) (Labs + Stores + Offices) |
||
Block H (2 levels) (Labs + Offices) |
H Block is detached from main Biology buildings. Minimum of 1 FA recommended for this block. |
1 |
Block I (1 level) (Labs + Offices) |
I Block (E&G Dobson Building / YSBL) is detached from main Biology buildings. Minimum of 1 FA recommended for this block. |
1 |
Block J (3 levels) (Labs + Offices) |
J2 is an infrequently used lab area: FAs from J0/J1 would provide adequate cover |
2 |
Block K (3 levels) (Laboratories + Offices) |
Facilities include those used by YSBL |
3 |
Block L (3 levels) (Laboratories + Offices) |
|
3 |
Block M (3 levels) (Laboratories + Offices) |
|

Block Q (3 levels) (Labs + Offices) |
Q Block is detached from main Biology buildings. Minimum of 2 FAs recommended for this block. |
2 |
Block R / T (3 levels) (Teaching Labs + Offices) |
All undergraduate student practicals to be covered by at least one FA trained Teaching Technician. |
≥ 6 Teaching Lab Technicians |
Minimum First Aider Requirements for Department = 24 plus ≥ 6 Teaching Lab Technicians Note: additional first aiders may be required for activities external to the departmental buildings e.g. field work activities |
