The University aims to provide a healthy and safe environment for conducting research activities, ensuring that such work does not impose unacceptable risk to University personnel. It is the responsibility of Principal Investigators (PIs) to ensure research activities under their supervision are conducted in compliance with relevant regulations, safety standards and the University Health and Safety Guidelines. PIs are required to implement all necessary research and laboratory safety requirements, ensuring that all research team members are fully trained and able to demonstrate proficiency to safely perform assigned research duties.
Regardless of funding sources, research projects involving potential safety issues in chemical, biological and ionizing or non-ionizing radiation areas must obtain research safety approval from the PolyU Research Safety Sub-Committee before commencement of research activities. The approval process normally takes about 4 weeks to complete. Please be aware that incomplete information will lead to delay in approval.
PIs and delegates can submit research safety approval applications via the Research Safety Approval System (RSAS). Instructions for PI and delegate registration can be found below:
