Laboratory access and getting started

Honorary Appointments:

If you or your new person is a visiting scholar or external student and does not have a UTS staff or student number, you must get an honorary appointment number. For this you will need to fill out an honorary appointment form.

This form and a copy of your curriculum vitae must be given to Carol Crane in the faculty office. It will then be signed by the Dean and forwarded to HRU. They will provide an honorary appointment number. This number means that they are covered by our insurance, can access IT support services and be given security access to the building and key boxes.

Offices allocation:

Please contact Kevin Broady for office allocations for level 6 researchers.

Keys for offices and PIN numbers for building and lab access:

Laboratory access and after hours building access at UTS is controlled by pin codes. Contact Russell Trenerry directly by email for office keys and pin code access to the building and Lab areas. You should cc Philip.Lawrence@uts.edu.au

You will need to provide:

• UTS Student, Staff or Honorary appointment number
• Full name
• Email

Where required Russell will check with the supervisor and/or relevant lab managers as to whether this access is permitted in each case.

Bringing in your own computer:

Log into Service Desk. Log a request stating: "Need personal laptop set up for network access and printing".

Inductions and Lab Space:

New staff and students working on Level 6 will need to go through a short induction, and have their lab bench allocation recorded. They will also need to read the "Science Researcher Safety Manual", fill out the risk assessment form in the back and sign the "Science Researcher Sign-Off" .

To organise an induction email phil@uts.edu.au with:

Supervisors should keep a copy of the risk assessment. I will file the original and the sign-off.

Email subscriptions:

There are a number of UTS email lists that you can and should subscribe to. Subscription is available at http://listserv.uts.edu.au/mailman/listinfo. Just click on the list titles and follow the instructions.

If you work on level 6, you must subscribe to the “Sci-all-staff” and the “Sci-level6” lists. There are also lists for the department of CMB and IBID. Important announcements are regularly made on all relevant lists.

Key box access:

Once pins have been allocated and induction is complete, I will grant access to the level 6 laboratory key box.
