Facilities Management and Workplace Health and Safety

With over 70 major buildings and some 6,500 rooms, our buildings and our teaching, learning, research and work spaces inspire creativity and success. We do everything we can to keep students, staff and visitors safe when visiting our campuses and locations. However it is still important to inform us, to keep yourself safe, to be aware of risks that may exist and ways to minimise them.

The University has several teams which can help you to report and control any safety or security risk that you might see, and we invite you to contact them to discuss any concerns you might have.
