A Health and Safety Refresher is due for all staff every two years.

The purpose of a refresher is to reinforce the actions we all need to take in the unlikely event of an emergency. We need to be aware of the way the building is set up to assist in dealing with evacuations.

The first refresher for this year will be on Thursday 13th February  (11.30-12.00noon).

Please meet in Room 203 (PJH) at 11.30am.

The refresher will consist of a walk around thinking about the building as a disaster zone (not the building in terms of being a library).

Two years ago the Library Health and Safety Committee offered an online option for the refresher. This will be available again after some editing to bring it up to date. The online option is designed to a be a 15 minute module covering all the basic points of Health and Safety in relation to the Library. When the module is available there will be two options for the 2020 Library Health and Safety Refresher training.

Staff may prefer to wait for the shorter option. I will also schedule another  walk around refresher later in the month.
