For your and everybody's safety

Know where the first-aid kits, eye- and emergency-showers, and fire safety equipment (i.e. fire blankets and fire extinguishers) can be found. Be also aware of where emergency exits are located and where to find the emergency phone numbers and instructions. Also read "If something happens" (in Swedish). Always report potential incidents or accidents to the safety officers! Everybody working at the Department of Zoology has to be familiar with and follow the safety instructions. We also need to ensure that new employees are informed about the safety instructions.
