If you host a guest researcher, you are considered to be a supervisor of that person.

Teachers and supervisors must evaluate which safety precautions are necessary (e.g. fume cupboards, personal protective measures, aids for heavy lifting).
It is the responsibility of teachers and supervisors that students and guests receive training and instruction so they can perform the activities properly with respect to safety. This includes instruction in the use of all technical aids and materials (eg. stimulators, data acquisition equipment, syringes, chemicals). Teachers and supervisors must make sure that the necessary safety measures are taken. If conditions which are outside the responsibilities of the teacher/supervisor occur, the head of the department must be informed, and the activity cannot be continued before the conditions are justifiable with respect to safety and personal health.

Students and guests are obliged to follow the safety procedures and instructions. This concerns both written instructions and oral instructions from the teacher/supervisor.

Any equipment is potentially dangerous if not used correctly. Equipment should only be used as intended and in accordance with the users manual. If you feel uncertain about how to use some equipment, do not hesitate to contact 1, your supervisor, 2, laboratory responsible or 3, any technician.

For certain equipment, a specific person has been appointed to conduct safety instructions. The laboratory responsible will direct you on this.

To borrow laboratory equipment you must contact your supervisor and the laboratory responsible.

Any equipment is potentially dangerous if not used correctly. Be sure you are well educated and observe your responsibilities as supervisor / students / guests.
 
Equipment should only be used as intended and in accordance with the users manual. If you feel uncertain on how to use some equipment, don't hesitate to ask your supervisor, the laboratory responsible or any technician.
 
For certain equipment, a specific person has been appointed to conduct safety instructions before you are allowed to use it (the lab. responsible will direct you).
 
Each laboratory and many experimental setups are equipped with an emergency stop. Every lab. user must know where it is situated, and how to operate it.
 
It is only allowed to use equipment belonging to the lab or which has been approved by the lab. responsible.
 
Defect equipment or parts (eg. cables) must be handed in for repair or replacement. You are not allowed to use it before repair / replacement.

As an employee, you are obliged to report any working environment related issues that comes to your attention to the representative of your Working Environment Group.
The representative will then report to AAU's Head of Safety and the Danish Working Environment Authority (WEA, "ArbejdsTilsynet") if needed.

Manuals for some equipment are available here.

All setups used for experiments on humans must be powered through the red power outlet. No direct connections to wall outlets are allowed.

Fredrik Bajers Vej 3B

All setups used for experiments on humans must be powered through a safety trafo. No direct connections to wall outlets are allowed.

If a person is subject to an electric shock (s)he must be checked by a medical doctor and both the working environment organisation and the lab. responsible must be informed, even if there is no visible injury.

Students are not allowed to work alone in the labs - at least two students must be present in the lab at any time.
 
None is allowed to perform experiments on themselves alone.
 
Any incident related to safety as well as (near-by) accidents must be reported to the working environment organisation.

The laboratory and each experimental setup must be kept clean and tidy.
Some examples:

• No cables are allowed to cross the floor (walking areas). Setups should only contain cables in use. Any other cables must be stored elsewhere.
• All equipment must be placed in a safe and stable position.
• Food and beverages may not be consumed in the lab. During long experiments a snack for the subject is accepted.
• Outdoor clothing and unnecessary bags must not be placed in the laboratories. 

Employees are covered while at work according to Danish law ("Arbejdsskadeloven").

AAU has taken out a collective accident insurance for students.

The insurance covers all students at AAU who carry out laboratory activities and laboratory experiments in connection with their studies. Only activities performed in AAU laboratories are covered. Please note that sports facilities are not considered laboratories and students performing activities there are not covered by the AAU accident insurance.

Students who perform activities outside AAU laboratories are advised to take out their own accident insurance.

It is recommended that students take out their own liability insurance since the accident insurance does not in all instances exempt students causing injury from liability for damages.

Insurance declaration for students can be downloaded by semester coordinators from HST's intranet. 

If you need special glasses (computer glasses) when you perform computer work, please download and fill in the form "Bestillingsseddel Skærmbriller". It is your responsibility to take the measurements and fill in the form. However, if you have any questions, please contact your Working Environment Group or representative.

After you have filled in the form, please contact HST's Economy Team to get an internal requisition.
The requisition number must be stated in the field “bemærk” on the form in order to process your final order.
