Arrangements to implement the University health and safety policy

These Chapters form the Arrangements to implement the University health and safety policy and Organisation and must be followed.

Suplementary guidance is available in the Safety Toolkits and Topic A-Z. Guidance is written and issued by the University's professional health and safety advisors and covers topics for which formal Arrangements are unsuitable.

Guidance provides assistance to managers and safety advisors about how to comply with these Arrangements or a legal requirement, where action is not prescribed.
