Computers

The University recognises that the majority of staff and students use computing equipment extensively. It is therefore important to provide a working environment, facilities and information that permits such activities to be carried on with minimal risk to the health and safety of individuals. This documents listed below provide guidance on the issues involved.

When disposing of computing equipment you must comply with the Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment Regulations. The University has developed procedures to help you in this and further information is available in the Waste section of SEPS web site.
