8.13 Insurance

In accordance with legal requirements LUU has employers' liability and public liability insurance cover. This is in order to protect both employees and visitors to our premises.

On occasions this may give rise to claims against LUU for negligence. You are not authorised to admit liability for LUU and under no circumstances must you do so.

LUU also has insurance to cover its own furniture and equipment. It is the responsibility of heads of departments and individual staff members to inform the Facilities Operations Manager of any new equipment in their department and any disposals. You should take every step to ensure that LUU's property is secure and not left unattended in unlocked rooms. However, if you discover any loss or damage to LUU's property you should contact an Assistant Security Manager through the Help and Support Team.

If you plan to organise a special event which may produce additional insurance risks for LUU you should seek advice from the Director of Finance.
