Access Requirements

This is a guide for Managers and Principle Investigators detailing the induction process for their new starters. It will cover new UCL-based LCN Staff and Students, including CDT students.

New UCL-based Staff and Students
These are people who are enrolled on a research program or are employed by UCL and have a myHR account.

Building Access
Building access will only be given after the successful completion of:

As part of the induction an Induction Handout will be sent to users, which covers specific departmental information. A full list of Mandatory Training Courses, which are not necessary for building access but must also be completed, can be found below.


Lab Access
For researchers who are primarily based in the lab, they must complete the following in order to gain access:

Further courses based on specific hazards can be found below.


Desk Allocation
Desks in the LCN are not allocated, rather people may use desks on floors that align with their research area / group.


Cleanroom Access
After users have been granted building access they can then set up a clean room access by following the steps of the Cleanroom Induction Flyer, including creating a PPMS account. Please contact the Cleanroom Team for more information.


Mandatory Training for All Staff

A full list of Mandatory Training courses can be found on the UCL Mandatory Training website for staff and the Doctoral School website for PhD researchers.
Managers can see the mandatory training status of their direct reports using Tableau.
