Theme: General Health and Safety

A briefing for fire wardens at Department of Physics, to ensure they are up to date with their duties.

This induction briefing is mandatory for all new or temporary staff, new students, and visitors (from other departments or elsewhere) to the Cavendish Laboratory who are staying for more than one week, or are visiting regularly. It begins with a short HR induction.

You will also need to book and attend Part 2 Induction if you do practical work - it follows 10 minutes after this session.

Department of Physics health and safety induction for Part III and MASt students preparing to submit their project proposal and project risk assessment.

Part 1 of this session is mandatory for everyone and covers what to do in an emergency, and how to report problems.

There will be a short refreshment break before Part 2.

Part 2 is mandatory only for people carrying out practical experiments in a laboratory. Students planning computational or theory work are not expected to attend this section.

This risk assessment briefing follows the basic departmental induction and is mandatory for all new staff, students or visitors who will be doing one or more of the following:

• running experiments
• providing technical support
• carrying out workshop or maintenance work
• managing other people's work
• running events

You may only attend this session if you have done Part 1 (see "prerequisites" below).

Theory and practice session on safe manual handling.

This introductory talk on electrical safety, aimed at people at Department of Physics likely to make or adapt equipment that will be connected to the electricity mains supply

Departmental health and safety induction for graduate(postgraduate) students about to start their MPhil or PhD at the Department of Physics.

Part 1 of this session is for everyone and covers what to do in the event of an emergency, and how to report problems.

There will be a short break before Part 2 of the session, which is for people carrying out practical experiments in a laboratory - people doing computational or theory work are not expected to attend Part 2.

The Cavendish Safety Forum is part of the Department of Physics safety consultation arrangements. It is a one-hour seminar designed to disseminate new H&S information to Cavendish users and provide an opporunity for feedback and suggestions from members of the Department.

All Principal Investigators are expected to be represented at the event, either by attending themselves or sending a representative who will report items to them. One person may represent more than one PI.

This induction is required for anyone planning to work unsupervised at the Maxwell Centre, Department of Physics.

It has two parts:

• Part 1 is for people working anywhere in the building
• Part 2 is only for those working at the Maxwell laboratories

This session covers the basics of risk assessment and focuses on mechanical workshop activities at Physics
