Safety, health and environment strategies and policies
Our Safety, Health & Environmental Compliance Policy formalises our commitment to Health and Safety. It clearly sets out the responsibilities we all have for safety, health and the environment from the University Board downwards and encompasses all members of the University community.
The policy also outlines the key processes for safety, health and the environment communication, consultation, and participation key to ensuring the policy and its associated strategy is effectively implemented.
The success of this policy relies on all colleagues’ support and cooperation as we all play a role in health and safety.
