Out of Hours Working

Normal working hours are as 07.30 to 18.00 Monday to Friday. If you work outside these times, including weekends and when the University is formally closed, you should:

• Meet the requirements of the University of Sheffield Health and Safety Code of Practice
  
• Carry your staff Ucard at all times
• Deny access to others you do not know, or who do not have permission to access the building out of hours
• Report anyone acting suspiciously to the Security Control Room on 2224085

Before vacating the building you should:

• Close windows
  
• Lock the internal doors you opened (if the room is not in use)
  
• Leave the building by the main entrance only. Do not leave other exit doors open

Card Access

To improve security and prevent unauthorised access, several University buildings now have out of hours card access control systems in place. Access to these buildings will only be permitted to staff or students with activated Ucards.

You should contact your Head of Department in the first instance, if you require your Ucard to activate an access control system out of hours.

You should contact the Security Control Room on 2224085, if you experience any problems operating an access control system during the out of hours period.

You should never allow others to use your Ucard.

Report activated Ucards which have been lost or stolen, to the Security Control Room on 2224085 immediately.
