There have been a number of concerns raised about the Library Warehouse and they way in which items are stored.
On Friday I arranged for Dave Lang from Estate and Assets, Andy Anderson from Human Resources, Sustainability, Jill Durney and myself to inspect the Library Warehouse. An outcome of this visit has been that staff Jill has agreed to conduct a risk assessment of this storage area with her team. Anyone who regularly works in this space can join Jill and her team as they undertake this exercise. Recommendations from the risk assessment will be acted upon.
In the meantime as we do need to continue to retreive resources from this storage area for our customers, and as a precaution before this assessment is completed, please do not go into the Library Warehouse alone, always ensure that there are two staff present in the Warehouse at all times.
