Health and Safety Management System Framework
The safety of staff, students and visitors to our campuses and facilities is a key priority.
We have a Health and Safety Management System in place to ensure we are regularly assessing and making changes to reduce risks to ensure everyone can return home from our university safely. This management system is currently under review to ensure it complies with International Standard ISO45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.
The Health and Safety Management System is an outline of how we approach work health and safety at the University. It includes our:
- Work, Health and Safety Policy
- Return to Work Programme - Injury Management HSG 5.4
