Vibration
Vibration can distress members of the University community and make it difficult to work.
Any vibration makes precision work in laboratories, workshops or similar environments untenable. Unexpected vibration has the potential to:
- damage highly sensitive laboratory equipment (unless the equipment is powered down or relocated in advance)
- disrupt precision work
- put others at risk if they are working with hazardous equipment or chemicals
- distort research results
- cause distress in those affected by the vibration.
Talk to your University liaison before you begin work and schedule your work to minimise disruptions.
