Safety Handbook
It’s time to read the latest iteration of the Departmental handbook and confirm you understand it. It’s available on the Departmental web site under “about us”, “information”, then either “staff” or PG student” as appropriate and you’ll find the handbook under safety or essential documents.
It’s an informative (dare I say riveting) read and will only take 20 mines or so with a warming beverage & biscuit.
Please let me know of any factual errors, spelling mistakes or typos.
