Testing frequency is determined by a Risk Assessment.
But who does the risk assessment.
I asked for two such RA this week and as they haven;t been supplied them I've told the students they can't use the lab for their project unless they supply them, which should actually be wrtten by thier project supervisor.
I know quite a few current students, so I asked.
The rule, according to them, is that since they all know when the inspection is due (they are informed, usually takes place once a month), they all remove all the electricals out of sight for the 10-15 inspection.
Once a month? Is this a female only uni?
That sounds perfectly sensible.
We used to put our bin outside the door if we had an overnight guest which we weren't allowed.

We de-mastered the locks so that the cleaners couldn't get in unless we were there.
But then I wouldn't have got my sheets changed ... :-(
My cleaner liked me, even despite the little fire I had.
Owain
What effect does the bin have ?
When they are all synchonised, like the NG gennys
You went to a Convent Uni?
More info please.
Fire regulations, I think.

A not-quite-spent match and a bin of fan-fold print-out.

I read it as you were not allowed overnight guests.
I don't think we were.
Anyway, unless you wanted the cleaner walking in, you put the bin outside the door.

Indeed. When I was a student, it happened but was frowned on. But a lot of the cleaners were on the students' side (particularly the older cleaners) and never said a word. The university's main worry was what would happen if the tabloids got hold of it.
Fast forward to when I was in charge of a college. I wasn't bothered at all. I did put my foot down when two students went too far. They converted his room into a 'day room' (two chairs, two desks etc.) and hers into a bedroom (two beds pushed together, etc.)
And in the 21st century, students from a university were featured on a programme about students working as escorts. The uni wasn't named, but I recognised the pub they filmed in and drew my own conclusions.

That spontaneous combustion is a worry.
I don't remember much actual f****ng but then I and most people I knew were in Comp Sci.
I think the Film & Media lot were pretty rampant though.
