Safety Training
New members of staff beginning work in the University must view the safety induction video within the their first 3 months at the University. Existing staff are also encouraged to view the induction. The presentation is hosted within Moodle and is divided into 14 sections, each of which can viewed independently. The total running time is approximately 25 minutes. Subtitles are embedded in the video and automated titles should be switched off using the cc button on the player to avoid duplication.
