> Risk Assessment Process: As part of University-wide occupation health and safety management, risk assessment documents have been prepared. A list of the assessments is given here and the documents are available individually at this site and in the APP shared folder here (both restricted to internal users only). > APP Lunctime talks are usually held on Tuesdays from 1-2 pm, in LT2 Date Speaker Title Venue 20/2 Tara L.
