School policy and procedures for visiting sites and working alone on site

Working Alone on Site

Staff/Undergraduates/Postgraduates are not permitted to work alone on remote sites.

Undergraduates/Postgraduates Going on Site Visits

Inform your supervisor:

1. that you are going
2. where you are going, and
3. approximately how long you will be away.

While this is a requirement under the University Occupational Health and Safety Procedures, it is also a safeguard for personal safety.

If you are visiting a site alone to collect data, please ensure you are properly attired, and that you take a charged mobile phone and wear it at all times. A mobile phone is available from the Laboratory Manager.
