- Assessment of risk and evaluationRisks are present at every workplace. In a hazard identification and risk assessment (RI&E), the present and latent risks for the health and safety at the workplace and in the work environment are set down in writing. Every employer is compelled to have a current RI&E on file, combined with an action plan. This way, employers and staff members are structurally working together on safe and healthy working conditions. A university is such a complex and dynamic environment that one comprehensive RI&E is insufficient. The preconditions, the minimal requirements and the frameworks that the execution and report of the RI&E has to meet are described in the Dutch Universities working conditions catalogue. The regulation below shows the procedure for the execution of the RI&E within the UT. To ensure adequate assistance and maintenance activities, it is necessary to have information with regards to the nature of the activities in the laboratory and/or experiment room.

- Crisis instructionsCrisis organisation Human Resources has drawn up a UT-wide crisis plan for large-scale calamities, such as a fire, an explosion or a bacterial infection, which is in line with the City of Enschede emergency plan. Because communication is very important during a crisis, the Marketing & Communications department (MC) has drawn up an extra crisis communication plan. The plans are continuously updated and acted out in practice runs. More information about our crisis organisation can be found on the crisis response page (Note: this is an Intranet page). In short, what to do in crisis situation? In case of fire • Dial (053-489)2222 • Provide information about the location, possible victims and the size of the fire • Alarm the people around you • If possible, try to extinguish the starting fire. Otherwise, leave the area immediately • Follow the escape path marking to the nearest exit or emergency exit • Always follow the instructions of the emergency assistance team (BHV) • Keep onlookers at a distance Accident/acute
