Health and Safety in the Department is of the paramount importance. Collectively, in recognition of the legal and moral obligations we have to one another, our visitors and external contractors, all members of the Department make the following commitments:​​

• We implement the Imperial College London Health and Safety Policy.

• We work towards continuous improvement of our Health and Safety performance by developing, sharing and adopting best practice.

• We will never compromise safety and we will only undertake those activities that can be undertaken safely.

• We will always conduct our work in a way that ensures the health and well-being of all staff, students, contractors and visitors and any other person affected by our activities.

• The Department will offer training to all staff and students and will encourage a strong ethos of engaging constructively with all matters regarding health and safety.
