New guidance on managing health and safety in further and higher education has been given a national launch.

The guidance, published in association with the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), aims to help colleges, universities, and research organisations to ensure good health and safety performance in a research environment. It covers such topics as security, emergency planning, hazardous waste, and occupational health.
The event also featured Jim Al-Khalili, broadcaster and Professor of Physics at the University of Surrey, as a keynote speaker.
