Undergraduate students are generally not permitted in laboratories in the absence of a laboratory supervisor. Check with the department concerned as to what specific rules apply.
The university provides, as far as is practicable, healthy and safe working conditions with appropriate training and provision of information. While each department within the faculty may have specific rules relating to safety, particularly in laboratories - and these are to be adhered to - individuals have an overriding responsibility for ensuring their own work environment is conducive to good occupational health and safety. Details are available from each department and from the faculty office or the School of Applied Science.
In most laboratories, the wearing of safety glasses is essential and laboratory coats may also be required. Specific arrangements within each department should be checked.
