Portable Appliance Testing
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) will be commencing in the Physics Building and IsoLab from Monday 9th September. This year all IT equipment is due for testing as they are on a three-year cycle.
The PAT tester will be calling on you soon in both offices and laboratories.
Please can you help the tester by making all electrical equipment accessible i.e. remove items from drawers, cupboards, filing cabinets etc. Please power down office computers and associated equipment at the end of the working day. You will be contacted nearer the time by Ashley Wilson who will let you know when PAT testing will be in your area.
Your cooperation will help make this operation run smoothly.

Water Outage Costs
I have had no reports of any losses or damage to equipment, negative impact on research projects and business activities that this incident may have caused. Please let me know if you have any costs which need to go forward to the insurance claim. No late claims for losses will be considered.

Performance Development Reviews for 18/19
A reminder that PDR season is upon us and that meetings and paperwork needs to be completed by the end of September. I’d be grateful if reviewers could ensure that meetings are in place if they are not already.
You will recall that we’re moving to an on-line PDR system. You can access your PDR form via the HR portal, (https://my.corehr.com/pls/coreportal_lancp/corePortal/#EmpDash). If you experience any technical issues pls contact hr.mi@lancaster.ac.uk
This webpage should cover any other queries you might have and has a section on FAQs.
