The Safety Unit publishes the University’s poisons permit in the following link and it is accessible to all those purchasing these materials.
Anyone who wishes to do so may contact the Safety Unit at any time in order to apply to add a substance that they wish to purchase that does not appear in the University’s poisons permit, or to request to increase the quantity that is permitted for a substance that already appears in the permit. The person approving the request will present a suitable application to the supervisor only after they are convinced that the safety arrangements in the laboratory enable an increase in quantity or introduction of a new substance.
The person approving the request may demand safety arrangements in accordance with the law, the regulations and the safety sheet of the substance before contacting the supervisor.
