Health and Safety Policy

The University Health and Safety Policy outlines the University commitment and approach to maintaining and improving health and safety for all affected individuals and groups. These include the university's employees, students, and others who may be affected by its activities. The policy extends to achieving good practice in complying with its statutory duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act and other relevant legislation.

The University Health and Safety Policy is comprised of 3 parts:

• Statement of Intent - Setting out the University commitments.
• Health and Safety Organisation Policy - Setting out the organisation for health, safety and wellbeing management across the University through its governance and management structures and defining the responsibilities and accountabilities for all staff.
• Arrangements for managing health, safety and wellbeing, which are detailed in its set of Health and Safety and other policies and guidance (link requires CCCU login).

Policy Review - The University Health and Safety policy is reviewed by the University Health and Safety Group every year or earlier in the event of a significant change and is approved by the Senior Management Team.
