Welcome to the Environmental Health and Safety Management System (EHSMS) of the Department of Biosystems Technology. All members of the Department, including academic and non-academic staff, undergraduate and graduate students, and visitors to the department premises, are the stakeholders and beneficiaries of the EHSMS. The EHSMS is a collective effort to ensure a safe culture in the teaching and research laboratories, workshops and the Department premises and maintain an excellent safety record.

All laboratory and workshop incidents (exposures, leaks, injuries, near misses and spills) should be reported immediately to the EH&S Advisor or the Head of the Department by phone at: 070-1541847. EH&S will report to the laboratory to investigate upon notification or if called by emergency personnel or University Health Center.

Within 48 hours, the Lab Incident Report Form must be completed and submitted, and the form must be handed over to the EH&S Advisor or HOD. The completed form can also be emailed to Dr. Pasan Bandara at pasancb@sjp.ac.lk. EH&S Committee will investigate the incident to find the root cause and recommend appropriate measures to prevent such incidents in the future and will prepare a final report.
