Lab access how-to

The School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (MME) provides and maintains an extensive number of laboratories for student and staff use in Willis Annexe, Building J18.

The following represents a checklist to obtain access.

We are now using Power Automate Flow to automate the lab access acquisition, and below is a guide for new lab users.

1. Discuss which lab and equipment you require access to with your Academic supervisor.

• Confirm the labs you need to use. If you are unsure about your decisions, please discuss them with your supervisor or contact Ben Willis (Lab Manager J18) for guidance.

2. Complete an HSE orientation quiz (https://forms.office.com/r/Jxt4SakKJV). We require a score of 100/100 to pass the quiz. If you have passed this quiz before, go to the next step.

3. Compete for the required online courses for the lab you require access to, and course requirements can be seen below.

4. Submit an induction request form (https://forms.office.com/r/LuipSZLNPA), where you can select multiple labs as suggested by your supervisors.

5. Once your request has been approved by your supervisors and Health & Safety Advisor, you will receive an email notification. The relevant technical officers will schedule on-site lab inductions with you.

6. Your access will be granted to your student/staff card within the next workday once you confirm induction attendance through Team Approvals.

7. For any technical inquiry about this Induction Flow, please contact the MME Tech Team: svcMMETT@unsw.edu.au.
