Our teams

Health and Safety 

Health and Safety Services work in partnership with staff and the trade unions. Our aim is to assist you in the management of risks that your activities create by offering independent expertise and advice. We have developed a robust safety management system which is delivered by a team of Health and Safety Managers, Fire Safety Managers and a Radiation Protection Officer who provide dedicated, proactive and professional support to each faculty and service across the University. Health and Safety Co-ordinators are also available to support staff with health and safety matters at a local level.
