We ensure the University has a suitable and sufficient health and safety management system to protect people who might be affected by the University's activities. This includes:
- monitoring health, safety and wellbeing performance
- considering and taking appropriate action on reports from staff representatives
- approving health and safety policies, standards and guidance when they don't require the approval of the Executive Committee
We report to the University’s Executive Committee.
