Access Control to Hazardous Areas and for Safety Critical Equipment

There is an access control permit MS Word Icon for contract works taking place in the more hazardous areas of University buildings such as laboratories and workshops.

In addition, work on plant/fans/air handling units in plant rooms that are associated with safety critical equipment (SCE) must be controlled using the same permit. (e.g. of SCEs - Microbiological safety cabinets used for HG 3 organisms or the more serious HG 2; Fume cupboards used for Cyanide, HF or similarly highly toxic substances)
