Please only use the emergency exits during an emergency evacuation. Using them for everyday use leaves the building insecure.
\nThank you.<\/p>\n
Ashley Wilson<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n PAT testing will commence in the department on the 23rd of August. As usual it will start with the Teaching Labs for the first couple of weeks taking us into early September.<\/p>\n Any Lab\u2019s that are in a state of down time or planned down time, please let me know and I can arrange for the PAT tester to test those labs during that period and be out of your hair. The disruption is unfortunate but it is a University requirement and every lab and office must be done.<\/p>\n Thank you for your time and patience during this period.<\/p>\n Ashley Wilson<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n After a safety tour by Roger and myself we find poor housekeeping is an issue in many labs. This has got to improve. Shonah Ion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just a reminder that it\u2019s PDR (Performance Development Review) time. In case you have not seen it, HR put out a communication about PDRs for 20\/21 which includes links to guidance, training and demos of the electronic form.<\/p>\n Please note that I only have access to my own PDR form so if you need technical assistance with yours, please contact HR Systems.<\/p>\n If your line manager\/ PDR reviewer needs to be changed on Core HR so that they can access your form, HR systems can do that for you too.<\/p>\n FAO Non-academic staff on probation (and their line managers)<\/p>\n Staff that are on probation should have an initial PDR in place and complete the accompanying Probation Review form. These can be found in the bottom section of this webpage.<\/p>\n Grainne Wilkinson<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dear Colleagues, However, we are still operating under distancing and other\u00a0restrictions\u00a0and we need to keep the occupancy of the building low and managed to meet the Public Health requirements. This is a particular problem in multi-occupancy offices, but we also need to keep occupation\u00a0of\u00a0single occupancy offices low. If a multi occupancy office user needs to come in, they would first contact their line manager\/supervisor and explain their request. If the supervisor approves the request they (the line manager\/supervisor) would then contact the room manager and discuss the dates, time, frequency or duration of the access with the room manager, who would then book the access to allow occupancy management\u00a0and social distancing.<\/p>\n The rooms and their managers are listed below.<\/p>\n Please note that\u00a0when\u00a0you\u00a0have to\u00a0come in,\u00a0you must\u00a0continue to observe the Dept rules,\u00a0wearing a face covering within the building,\u00a0one way system and marked room occupancies. This particularly applies to kitchen spaces – please do not use these for prolonged periods, as it will block others from being able to use them.<\/p>\n Shonah\u00a0Ion & Roger Jones.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Emergency Exits Please only use the emergency exits during an emergency evacuation.

Lab safety<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nWe expect the building to become more occupied as we approach the start of term, and with increased occupation the potential for trips and falls increases.
\nAlso storing heavy objects at height is also something we are seeing more of. Please store heavy or awkward items at ground level.
\nLook at your workspaces critically and throw away things you no longer require. If the items may be hazardous waste please get in contact with me for assistance.<\/p>\nPerformance Development Review<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Building occupancy<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nThe proposed changes to restrictions that were due to happen next week have been postponed, so the continuing message is to work from home if possible and only come onto campus if it is\u00a0necessary. We recognise that it\u00a0is\u00a0necessary for some staff & students to come onto campus to complete experiments, attend in person events etc. Some limited more general\u00a0working on campus can also be approved for those who find are finding home working unsuitable due to health and similar\u00a0issues.<\/p>\n
\nTo manage occupancy in the Department and ensure we remain compliant with current regulations, we have designated a responsible person and booking system for the multiple occupancy offices used by many researchers & PG students.<\/p>\n\n\n
