Who can book equipment?
The booking system is based on the principle that all equipment in Sport, Exercise and Nutrition Sciences laboratories in both the Richards Building and Baring Court is available for use by staff, postgraduate research students, and students on taught courses undertaking dissertation projects.
This general principle is subject to the following conditions:
- There are certain areas and pieces of equipment to which access is restricted to approved persons only on Health and Safety grounds. Currently this applies to the DEXA laboratory and Blood Analysis Suite in Baring Court;
- Equipment must only be used by persons who have received the appropriate training in its use. Training should be arranged prior to booking the equipment (see above);
- In some instances access to sensitive or complex pieces of laboratory equipment may be limited to staff and research postgraduate students. This will be at the discretion of the senior lab manager (Sam Bailey) in consultation with the Director of Research.
