The Facilities and Risk Management team provides a fully comprehensive service covering the built estate, science facilities and risk management.

Facilities’ main function is simply to manage the estate, ensuring that all assets are properly maintained and held within compliance with all health and safety and associated guidelines and policies. Facilities staff are also responsible for soft facilities management, including security, reception, cleaning and portering, catering and the conference facilities.

The risk management function provides and monitors health and safety, environmental, QA management systems and legal compliance with regulatory requirements. The team is responsible for providing a wide range of facilities, procedures and advice to minimise the risk of our science while maximising the quality of scientific work and protecting staff, students and visitors.
