Theme: Chemical Safety

A very high proportion of accidents reported to the Safety Office from around the University involve sharps of one sort or another. In this module we will look at how you can reduce hazards when working with glass and sharps.

By the end of this course you will be able to:

• Identify potential sharp hazards in your environment
• Describe appropriate control measures when working with blades
• Describe appropriate control measures when working with glass
• Describe appropriate control measures when working with needles and cannulas
• Follow safe disposal practices
• Follow the first aid procedures when dealing with a sharps injury

This module will take 30-40 minutes to complete. At the end of the module there is an activity to review what you have learnt.

This is a mandatory briefing for every user of the SP Cleanroom in the Cavendish Laboratory's Mott Building. Participants must attend annually as they will be provided with updated information on Cleanroom procedures and safety requirements.

This is a short session designed to give basic information on the operation and hazards of the Semi-Conductor Physics Clean Room (Mott Building) to Department of Physics designated first aiders.

This is an in-lab induction with an experienced HF user, designed to provide the attendee with the information needed to become an authorised user.

This in-lab induction and guided tour is for authorised users of the Semiconductor Physics Clean Room in the Mott
