Reporting near misses

Can I remind everyone to report any near misses as well as actual accidents via the accident reporting form on the University safety web pages. http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/depts/safety/index.html By reporting a near miss – that is an incident that could have resulted in an accident – we can take action to prevent an accident occurring.

Physics exit doors

Emergency exit doors are for exactly that, emergencies. We make ourselves and our colleagues venerable when we leave the building insecure.

Emergency Exits

Can all staff be reminded that the Emergency Exit doors in Physics are used for that purpose only. They have in the past been left open, as they are not self-closing, leaving the building insecure overnight. Regards Martin
