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

This is a CAA approved 3-day training course and open book examination, covering the requirements of the IATA Dangerous Goods by Air Regulations. Someone possessing this qualification will be an asset to their department as carriers ask for more assurances about the packaging and labelling of cargoes.

• Note 1: There is a charge for this training (see 'Charging' section below).
• Note 2: Each participant will need to purchase and bring an up to date IATA manual (which is updated annually) for this Course. A few copies can be loaned if requested prior to the training but others will have to purchase or borrow one independently.

There will be a 0930 start on the first day but subsequent start, finish and break times will be a matter of negotiation with the trainer.

The next full IATA course is due to be organised centrally in 2025.

Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) is one of the most toxic and potentially dangerous substances used in the University. All users of HF should be fully aware of and have a good understanding of the nature of HF. They should know how best to control HF, avoid accidental exposure and understand how to deal with accidental exposure to HF. All users of HF are strongly advised to complete this online course. This course is also useful for First Aiders in Departments where HF is used.

There is a quiz which users must pass to pass the course.

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.
