Mathematical Institute

The Mathematical Institute’s online Health and Safety Induction, available at https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/health-safety/induction, contains key health and safety information.

In the Mathematical Institute accidents should be reported immediately to reception (tel: (2)73525) who keep the accident book. There is a first aid room located on the ground floor of the South wing. If you require access to this room please report to reception.

Each lecture theatre has its own proper escape route and you are urged to familiarise yourself with these. Those for the Mathematical Institute lecture and seminar rooms, are set out online at http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/building-information/security-safety-and-reporting-building-issues/. In the case of evacuation of the lecture theatre give heed to the instructions of the lecturer.
