How to get onto CamTools

I have set up a CamTools site, onto which online training courses will be put. The first is a fire training course. Everyone in the Department should do a fire course of some description every two years.

I have had reports of people having difficulty finding this; the following instructions have been kindly supplied by Richard Ordish.

First: Navigate to www.camtools.cam.ac.uk then

Login with Raven (for internal users)
Click on Courses & Projects (top right)
Click on Joinable Courses & Projects tab
Enter "Physics Safety" in the Search box
Click Join link (far right)
Click link (click to visit)

You should now see Physics Safety on your Startpage list

The Department Safety Officer is Jane Blunt: room 220 (opposite Rayleigh Library), telephone 37397, e-mail fjb27 'at' cam
