Security

Recent incidents demonstrate need for constant vigilance.

On Thursday 28 April 2005, someone tampered with the cables securing equipment in two of the Division’s labs: three new flat panel displays were stolen and a computer damaged in one of the labs.

The TSU is reviewing the security of the installations, but no matter how much is done to secure equipment, determined thieves will find a way to steal equipment, even though they destroy it in the attempt.

Staff must take responsibility for locking labs after use: keys can be requisitioned from Heads of School if required. Staff should also notify Security on x2222 if they notice any suspicious activity.
