It is acknowledged that there is a requirement to leave experiments to run attended including overnight. The Unattended Experiments safety standard aims to provide practical information and a recommended template for the provision of information with the experiment to ensure that it can be safely shutdown in the event of an incident and the relevant persons contacted.

The safety standard applies to all experiments conducted in University laboratories within high risk departments.
