Details of various health and safety committees.
The Health & Safety Committee Structure Chart [PDF document] provides a visual summary of the University's Health & Safety Committees.
The Vice Chancellor has established a Committee known as the Health, Safety, Safeguarding & Wellbeing Board (HSSW), which reports to the Vice-Chancellor’s Group (VCG).
HSSW is the forum the University uses to discharge its legal duty to consult with employees and / or their representatives about health and safety matters. (See also Trade Union Recognition Agreement and Facilities Agreement between 樱花影视 and the Trades Unions).
HSSWs function is to keep under review measures taken by the University to ensure the health, safety and welfare of University employees and students. The Committee is chaired by the University Secretary and receives Minutes from its sub-committees. meetings and an annual Health & Safety report will be sent to the Governing Body.
HSSW is supported by the following University level sub-committees:
- Safeguarding & Compliance Committee
- Health & Wellbeing Committee
- Biological & Genetic Modification Committee
- Health & Safety in Halls Committee
In addition to HSSW, each Faculty/Directorate/Unit must have a forum for discussion of health and safety matters. The terms of reference (ToR) and membership for each of these can be found on our Governance webpages.
For smaller groups, it may be appropriate for health and safety to be a standing item on the Faculty/Directorate/Unit Management Committee instead. However, all relevant items in the above mentioned ToR must still be covered.
