Office use guidelines

The student and Post Doc offices are dedicated to scholarly work. To ensure the efficiency and concentration of everyone, silence should be observed at all times (no conversations, no phone calls allowed in offices). If you have to listen to music, please use headphones and ensure that your device is well tuned.

Any conversations (whether personal or professional) shall be restricted to the meeting room.

Food and drink are welcome in the kitchen and meeting room.  All work areas, including desks, are to be kept clean at all times. In order to protect the research equipment, absolutely no food or drink is to be consumed in research areas.

Equipment

It is the responsibility of the users to handle computers and equipment according to the specification of the Centre’s technical team. Students are asked to report any malfunctions to the technical staff as soon as possible.

Each user will be allocated a login and drive space on the BRAMS main server, for the period of their stay / research project at BRAMS. Users will be offered space on the main server for storing project information. Backups of server data will be made on a short-term basis. For security reasons no information is to be stored on local computer devices. Local computer disks may be reformatted at any time.

Non-compliance with office guidelines and BRAMS regulations concerning equipment and/or lab use will be assessed by the Centre’s Executive Committee or delegates and, in cases of property damage, loss, theft or repeat offense, may lead to replacement charges for the full cost of damaged / lost goods.
