Safety is an integral part of life and work at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. We are committed to ensuring that all research and educational activities are performed in a safe and proper way. This includes conducting safety training before beginning work in any laboratory or facility, ensuring that everyone is well-prepared to respond to an emergency, and ensuring that safety rules and regulations are followed at all times.
All staff, students, visitors and contractors are strictly required to comply with the safety rules and regulations established by the University and the School. Click on the links below to find out more.

SPMS Safety Objective 2024
70% of Laboratory PIs in SPMS, or their appointed Safety Leaders, must conduct and document risk communication in at least one of their group meetings
As part of continual improvement to our safety culture, SPMS has put in place on risk communication as this year’s safety objective. This safety objective has the purpose to demonstrate care for our staff and student, instilling safe work practices and reducing the incidence of at-risk work behaviours by top management. We seek your support and strong participation in this programme.
