Resource bottleneck

Due to absences in April and May there will be limited support. Serious planning of projects and tasks is necessary. Contact Bauhallenteam as early as possible.

In the safety block we will draw attention to safety relevant topics.

Working alone @ ETH

There is an official ETH document to inform about working alone at ETH:

https://ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/associates/services/Service/sicherheit-gesundheit-umwelt/files/alleinarbeit/en/Working_alone-leaflet.pdf

Based on that the coming GSV-System for IBK labs will include rules for working alone and outside lab working hours.

Basic Principle: Working alone is not permitted whenever the work could lead to injuries which would necessitate the immediate help of a second person

Orderliness

The cleanliness of workplaces has a direct impact on safety. Keep your project area clean and tidy and put unused material in its place.
