QMUL Fire Safety
Queen Mary has various policies and guidance covering working off-site. This includes fieldwork, research activities, work-related trips, meetings, conferences, and other activities that take place on non-Queen Mary premises. Please note, however, that it does not relate to remote working from home.
There are various activities that need to be completed when organising off-site work such as conducting a risk assessment and having this approved, implemented, and reviewed, as well as identifying roles and responsibilities for those involved in off-site working, including Supervisors or Line Managers who will remain on campus as a base contact.
The University has provided some working off-site guidance and a useful Working Off-site Process Flowchart to help and guide you when planning all off-site work:

Once completed the risk assessment must be signed off by your manager before being uploaded to Oshens as a confidential risk assessment.
Further details can be found on the HSD site.
