Computing Equipment Areas

Eating, drinking are prohibited in all computer halls and in terminal, plotter and printer rooms.



The only persons allowed to lift floor tiles in the computer halls are the technical staff and any other staff specifically authorised by the Head of Division or his Safety Representative. These people will be aware of the risks of injury and also the position of fire alarm sensors. Any area of floor with the tiles removed must be guarded by a suitable barrier.



These areas must be kept tidy in order to prevent any loose cables from equipment presenting a tripping hazard.



The Central Services area in the South Computer Hall is a Restricted Area. No-one other than computing staff directly involved with the operation of equipment in this area is allowed entry.



Power to the various areas and workshops within the Computer Halls is supplied and controlled by the wall mounted Power Distribution Units. (PDU's.) ONLY technical staff and specific authorised staff are permitted to operate the Power ON switch on any of these units. The Emergency Stop button may be operated by anyone in an emergency situation.
