Health and Safety policy

The University's Health and Safety policy sets out the University's approach to health and safety on campus.

Before starting work, consider:

  • The University is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for members of the University community.
  • Health and safety are a shared responsibility. The University expects every member of the University community to take personal responsibility and accountability for promoting the safety of themselves and those involved in, or affected by, the University’s activities.
  • The University is committed to ensuring that its health and safety practices reflect good practice, with legal compliance as the absolute minimum.
  • The University is committed to consulting and actively promoting participation and engagement by all members of the University Community in developing the skills, knowledge and resources to maintain a healthy and safe environment.
  • Where the University engages another organisation to work at or for the University, managers responsible for the contract must consult, cooperate and coordinate with the organisation in relation to health and safety and provide them with access to a copy of the policy.
  • Every member of the University community has a responsibility to maintain excellent health and safety practice.
