Health and safety information

Welcome to Edinburgh Napier University - we wish you a happy and successful time studying with us. In particular, the University wishes to ensure your safety and wellbeing and in a busy university of our size, this gives you particular responsibilities.
 
 

Please:

  • Pay attention to instructions from staff with regards to safety
  • Work safely, for your own sake and others
  • Take care as you go about the University
  • Report any accident and get first aid treatment at once
  • Report any hazard you spot to a member of staff
  • Learn what to do in the event of a fire
  • Respect the University's no smoking policy – smoking is only permitted in designated smoking shelters
  • Wear any personal protective equipment you are issued
  • Think before you act - carelessness causes many accidents
  • Take care and ask staff for advice with lifting any heavy objects
  • Do not carry food or drink out of the catering outlets - if spilled they present a risk of slipping for all users of the building
  • On no account should food be eaten in a laboratory environment
