Heads of Department are responsible for ensuring there are suitable and sufficient health and safety arrangements in place covering all activities that fall under their control. These arrangements should be communicated to staff, students and visitors.

This Health and Safety Handbook template provides a structured framework for documenting safety arrangements and ensuring they are clearly communicated across the department.

To make this handbook fit for purpose for your department, please ensure you add your department name to the cover and complete any areas in red within the document. You may also remove any content that’s not applicable to your department.
