Safety, Health and Wellbeing Committee

The University takes the health and safety of staff, students and visitors seriously.

The purpose of the Committee is to create and maintain a safe and healthy work environment by considering issues relating to the health and safety of employees, students and visitors to the University and acting as a forum for management to consult with employees and their recognised trade unions on matters relating to their health and safety. The Committee advises on the development of policies, procedures and regulations which will safeguard the health and safety, welfare and well-being of staff, students and visitors to the University, and monitors their implementation. The Committee also monitors statistics on accidents, incidents and sickness and recommends action to address key issues which may arise from these. Its importance is underlined by the fact that there are co-chairs of the Committee, one senior manager and one from the trade unions.

The joint Chairs of the Safety, Health and Wellbeing Committee are Mr Steve Pashley and Mr Terry Darcy 

The Secretary is Chris Butland
