The University recognises that there are occasions where staff feels they need to stay behind for an hour or so to complete work. Anyone working after hours must contact the Security Centre on 2083 before 8.45pm and sign in/out of the logbook kept at the reception desk giving details of where they are working.
Persons working out of hours must sign in and out of the logbook kept at the reception desk (Henry Cotton Building) or at the reception desk (Byrom Street), giving details of where they are working. Please contact the helpdesk on: 0151 231 5555
If necessary, the Emergency Services (Fire, Police, Ambulance) may be on: 0151 231 2222
In the event of the fire alarm sounding – all occupants must evacuate the building immediately and without exception. If, as a result of a risk assessment, work to be performed is deemed to be hazardous, it must not be carried out without another person in line-of-sight, or at worst, within earshot.
Undergraduate students must not work out of hours without the prior authorisation of the Director of School. There must be a suitable member of staff providing appropriate supervision as identified in the risk assessment during the time the work is being performed. This provision will not apply to Learning Resource Centres.
Postgraduate students must not work out of hours without the prior authorisation of the Director of School.
Experiments running unattended out of hours should have attached a copy of instructions for use in an emergency.
It is recognised that ‘subjects’ are required for certain experiments. Please ensure that all visitor details are completed on the approval form. Staff and students are reminded that children are not permitted to enter university buildings.
Permission will not be granted to staff or students who just want to use the IT facilities. The LRC’s are open 24 hours for these purposes. Further information on LJMU library's with ICT facilities can be accessed here: Campus Property Data
