Before starting work

Before you start work, get to know the risks. Complete induction, discuss the work with your University liaison, and submit a risk assessment.

Contractor induction

If you’re a contractor carrying out work at the University, you must attend one of the weekly contractor inductions before starting work.

Your points of contact

As a contractor, your University liaison is your most important contact on campus. Find contact details for other people you might need to talk to.

Risk assessments

Contractors engaged by the University must submit a task-specific risk assessment to their University liaison for review before work begins.

Working around University hours

The University is in use at all times, day and night. Find out when it’s best to carry out your work.

Access to restricted areas

To complete your work, you may need a master key to access a restricted area. Find out how to get a master key or swipe card.
