The Department of Oncology is committed to providing a safe working environment for our staff and students.

The Head of Department is responsible for implementing the departmental Safety Policy, but may delegate the day-to-day management of safety to the Departmental Safety Officer (DSO) and specialist officers for hazards such as biological agents, radiation, fire etc. as necessary.

Our Safety Committee acts in an advisory capacity to the Head of Department and is responsible for the production, review, performance and monitoring of the implementation of the Departmental Safety Policy, which is developed in accordance with the University’s Safety Policy.

The University Safety Policy states that in discharging their responsibility Heads of Department must ensure that the relevant procedures are in place.
