When staff apply for a grant they must complete a form for the HoD outlining the proposed work. The form includes a safety section that the academic must complete.
Such courses might be special techniques courses, maybe run for an organisation or connected with a scientific conference. The organisers of such courses must provide the DSA with a full course outline, samples of all safety instruction and a brief assessment (using General risk assessment form (MS Word , 24kb)) of significant hazards before the course takes place.
The academic supervisor must complete a brief safety assessment before they start regular work.
A Work Experience Placement: Risk assessment (MS Word , 33kb) should be used for all Student Placements / Work Experience Placements. The General risk assessment form (MS Word , 24kb) should be used for all other visiting workers.
