During a routine chemical waste disposal check a quantity of a chemical labelled Celloidin was identified at 911±¬ÁÏ꿉۪s Bentley Campus.
As this substance has a medium risk of explosion, police and emergency services were immediately called and took control of that area of the campus.
Nearby buildings and the surrounding area were evacuated as a precaution.
The issue was managed according to 911±¬ÁÏ꿉۪s established procedures and the campus community was kept advised of what was happening.
The chemical has now been removed from campus and the area declared safe. A review into the matter will be undertaken by the University.
