Introduction

Background
This safety website was established to provide student and staff of Department of Physics with a convenient source of useful safety information, including NUS safety policies, standard operating procedures, guidelines, department induction procedures, rules and regulations. It is maintained by the Department Safety and Health Committee (DSHC).

Department Safety and Health Committee
Department Safety and Health Committee was formed to assist and advise the Head of Department on safety and health matters. The committee is committed to work with the department to establish a positive safety and health culture through adoption of best practices and compliance of legal requirements.

Prior to this committee, the safety committee was known as LOTUS which stands for “Let The Team Uphold Safety” formed in 2003. Going way back to 1999, the safety committee was simply the Physics Safety Committee.

Our Mission
To create a safe and healthy workplace through awareness and compliance with legal and the university's safety and health policies.

We aim to achieve the highest level of safety standard in our department.
