Health and Safety
The School of Chemistry and Chemical Biology is committed to the health, safety and well being of its staff, students and visitors.
Before you begin working in one of our labs, it is essential that you read our Laboratory Operations Manual and our Standard Operating Procedures document below and complete the Safety Declaration Form. If you fail to submit your safety declaration form to the school office before entering the lab, it may result in incomplete insurance cover for both you and the school.
