Health, Safety and Security at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø’s overall objective is to provide and maintain a safe and healthy environment for staff, students, people who work with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø and those who visit. Health and safety is an integral part of the way in which Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø’s activities are managed and conducted.

There are three departments that work together to provide a comprehensive system to provide the safe and healthy environment:

2)ÌýÌý ÌýÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Safety Services, who manage the safety management system including providing advice for risk assessments to training people to work with radioactive samples;
3)ÌýÌý ÌýÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Estates who ensure the buildings and sites are safe, including managing contractors, building works and access to equipment such as defibrillators.Ìý
