Personal statement

Hi, I'm Chris - I'm a Laboratory Technician/Lab Manager in the Chemical and Process Engineering Dept. I am keen on providing a safe working environment for staff, students and visitors who carry out work in the Department's research and teaching laboratories. While working in the Chemical and Process Engineering Department, via distance learning, I have attained a PgDip in Safety and Risk Management from the University of Strathclyde (in 2019) and followed up by studying for a NEBOSH (National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health) Diploma (in 2023) - considered the 'gold standard' when it comes to health and safety qualifications. I wear quite a few hats in the Chemical and Process Engineering Department - including Hazardous Waste Coordinator and Deputy Departmental Safety Coordinator - advising students and colleagues on health and safety issues and control measures to put in place when designing their experimental setups.

Design and construction of an in-house EA (Engineering Application) experiment
Heslop, Mark (Principal Investigator) Jones, Christopher (Co-investigator)
Year 2 students carry out four EA experiments (EA1 to EA4). Each experiment simply involves disassembling the equipment component, and then putting it back together again. Although such an activity will inform students about such principles, they could be made more engaging by incorporating such equipment within pipework assemblies that are similar to industrial plants. The intention is that the activity will then more more engaging to the students. Although this is a non-funded project, the experience has been invaluable to the technical team and also the cost savings will be of the order of a few thousands pounds.
