CVS Risk Assessment folder

How to access the CVS risk assessment folder

First email CVS.lab.access@ed.ac.uk your UUN and ask for access to be given to the CVS RA folder.

You need to be connected to the University servers, either using a managed desktop/ laptop, or accessing the University through a VPN. For setting up access to the University's VPN, please go to VPN (Virtual Private Network) | The University of Edinburgh for instructions.

If you have any problems accessing any risk assessments please get in touch, CVS.lab.management@ed.ac.uk
