Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree Students Working in RECETOX

Students follow the same rules, as stipulated by the RECETOX, Faculty of Science, University
Campus Bohunice and INBIT operating regulations, that apply to all other laboratory staff.
Students may only work in the laboratories on working days: Monday to Friday between 6:30
a.m. and 4 p.m. and, additionally, from Monday to Thursday between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.

In exceptional situations, students may work in the laboratories on Friday afternoons, weekends
and public holidays after previous agreement with their thesis supervisor. Students must not work
in the laboratories without supervision.
Student supervision between 6:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on working days is provided by their
thesis supervisors. Student supervision between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. is provided by the
RECETOX employee on supervision duty.

Supervision of Students Working in the Laboratories
On Monday to Thursday between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., student supervision is provided by the
supervisor on duty. RECETOX employees, particularly those who teach and supervise students’
theses, alternate to provide student supervision at RECETOX laboratories. The person
responsible for managing the supervision system is the Supervision Coordinator. The system is
managed via an online supervision schedule available on the INTRANET.
Supervision Coordinator
• Maintains a record of the persons who act as supervisors;
• Maintains a supervision schedule for each day;
• Arranges and monitors uniform and regular participation of the individual supervisors;
• Resolves any problems, including those that require consulting the division heads.
3
The Laboratory Student Supervisors Have the Following Responsibilities:
• Register for times that suit them in the online supervision schedule.
• If a staff member unexpectedly cannot provide the supervision at the time they selected
(e.g. due to illness), they arrange another staff member to cover their shift or contact the
coordinator.
• Collect the contact phone from the person who was on supervision duty the day before
in a timely manner.
• Enable students to enter the building.
• Supervise students in the laboratories – areas on the 1st basement floor and 1st (groundlevel)
and 3rd floor of building A29 or the 1st basement floor and 2nd and 3rd floor of
building INBIT, as applicable.
• Students working in INBIT laboratories are supervised by the heads of the RECETOX
organisational units that are assigned the use of the laboratories.
• As a minimum, the supervisor on duty must check the laboratories and the “red book” at
the entrance at 6 p.m. If there are no students working in the laboratories, the supervisor
on duty is allowed to leave before 8 p.m.
• When leaving the workplace, the supervisor on duty must check:
o Whether all students have left the workplace (laboratories);
o Whether all students recorded their time of departure from the workplace.

1. The person authorised to interpret the provisions of this Appendix and ensure that
they are complied with is the Supervision Coordinator.
