Chemicals & Hazardous Substances

Cardiff Met's Health and Safety Advisor works in collaboration with Laboratory Technicians to monitor the storage, handling, and use of hazardous substances, with priority to avoid spillages and emissions which could lead to environmental damage.

Schools are required to manage all aspects of health and safety in their respective areas, including the management of hazardous substances and inventories of all chemicals. This also applies to the swimming pool, which is managed by Cardiff School of Sport and Health Sciences. The Environment and Estates department advises contractors of their requirements, and the Facilities team advises the cleaning contractor.

Hazardous substances are stored in secure storage and relevant staff members are trained in the safe handling, use, and disposal of these.
