Safety Training

UCL requires all new starters to complete the following mandatory online safety courses on  Day 1.

• UCL Fire Safety
• UCL Safety Induction
• Staff: Information Security (CybSafe)
• Students: Information Security Awareness Training (students only version)
• Data Protection and Freedom of Information
• Workstation self-assessment

All new starters must also complete the EEE Local Fire and Local H&S induction. These inductions are held every other Tuesday, 10-11am in 1103 Marconi Room, Roberts by the Department Safety Officer (DSO). New starters will receive an email invite.

All new staff and postgraduate students must complete the safety records on their MyInfo page as soon as possible after the completion of mandatory training and inductions. This includes uploading a copy of your validated workstation assessment.

Note that visiting staff and students who join the department for extended periods (e.g. more than two weeks) are treated in the same way as any of our permanent staff or students for safety training purposes. People visiting for less than at most two weeks are considered guests of the department for safety purposes and they do not have to undertake training. However, they should be always escorted by a staff member and will not be allowed or expected to perform any hazardous tasks that require safety training.

All Managers, supervisors and Principal Investigators (PIs) must complete the Safety Risk Management Programme training

If you work in a laboratory, a competent person please see the Laboratory Work in EEE pages for your specialised information.
