Reporting routes

Should you have a safety concern about you work or workplace, the first instance you should raise the issue with the laboratory manager for the area and/or your supervisor or line manager.

If they are unable to resolve the issue, or if you do not feel comfortable raising it directly with them, you may also speak in confidence with the department safety officer and/or the responsible officer for the work type (e/.g. for a laser-related safety issue, contact the dept laser safety officer). In extremis, you may raise your concerns directly with the Head of Department.

For less immediate problems, or for suggestions and feedback on safety, contact your peer safety representatives- UGs, Postdocs & Researchers each have a have safety representative on the department safety committee.

Safety concerns may also be reported using the RiskNet Accident & Incident reporting system (please see the Accident & Incident Reporting section for more information). They can also be raised directly with UCL Safety Services – contact Dev Agarwal, the central Safety Advisor assigned to EEE.
