Guests and Visitors

Guests

All guests and short-term visitors must report to the Departmental Office (Room 705) on arrival. All guests are the responsibility of the member of staff inviting them, and they are expected to follow UCL’s Code of Conduct for Visitors. Guests are to be made aware of emergency procedures and if requested given a copy of the Department Safety Policy Statement.

The following restrictions on access apply:

• They should not be loaned keys, access cards or told access code details.
• They should be accompanied at all times.

Note that access to laboratories in this case is primarily permitted for observation; guests and short-term visitors are not expected or permitted to perform hazardous tasks that require mandatory training.

Visitors & Agency Staff

Visitors and agency staff spending extended periods in the department must follow the same rules and requirements as any other staff member or student. Sufficient notice should be provided to departmental administrative and support staff so that ID cards & keys may be arranged, and training needs identified, prior to the visitor’s arrival.
