Equipment and Inventories

Training & Sign-Out Sheets:

The laboratory store rooms are equipped with a broad range of hand tools and specialist test equipment.

If you have any doubts about how to use any devices, including items borrowed or rented from other sources, please seek our advice. Incorrect use of equipment may lead to personal injury or damage to sensitive laboratory apparatus.

In the meantime please contact a member of the Technical Team if you wish to use any of our resources. They will ask for specifics about your project and will advise on the most appropriate tool for your application.

There are four important considerations when borrowing equipment:

How will it be used?

We ask these questions to confirm that the requested tool is the best for the job. We often have something better!

Safety Statement

You will be asked to produce your safety statement if it is not already on file in the labs. This is to ensure your safety and allows us tailor your training to your intended application of the equipment. It is your responsibility to provide a safety statement before we issue you with the equipment and complete the sign out sheet (final step)

Training

Training will be provided in the use of the equipment.

Sign-Out Sheet
