+### Near misses
+
+Reporting near misses is an important part of a safety culture. By reporting near misses (incidents that could have become accidents) we can learn and improve before any injury occurs. Near-misses are currently under-reported. You can report near misses informally to your supervisor and/or using the near miss reporting form. Be assured that all such reports will be treated as constructive help and the person reporting the near miss will not be blamed. The outcomes of a near miss will be used to improve safety for everyone, and will be treated anonymously.

+### Lone working
+
+Lone working means working out of shouting distance of help. Lone working is covered by strict rules, and any high risk activity is prohibited from lone working. Avoid lone working whenever possible. Further details are available in the department safety documents.
+
+### Out of hours work
+
+Working outside core hours (9-6pm) requires an out of hours form to be completed and approved. A risk assessment must be completed for out of hours working. Note that this applies to both office and laboratory work. Out of hours working is discouraged, and not permitted for any high risk laboratory tasks (e.g. using chemicals). The department health and safety pages provide links to the necessary forms for out of hours working. If you are also using or leaving running some laboratory equipment out of hours, then this must have a equipment overnight permit. This permit has a section that must be attached to the equipment, giving details of the shutdown procedure in an accident (to be used by Estates or the fire service, for example).
