University Health and Safety Committee

The University Health and Safety Committee shall have oversight of the health and safety management framework and shall include consideration of health and safety requirements of such overseas campuses and shall pay regard to any legislation that might be applicable. The University shall ensure that its operations at all campuses meet the minimum statutory health and safety requirements of the host country. Where requirements are of a higher standard in one country, the University will also apply these where practicable.

The Committee has the purpose of keeping under review the measures taken to ensure the effective global management of the health and safety of employees and also that of students, visitors, contractors and other persons who could be affected by the various work activities of the University which could, through their own work activity(ies), adversely affect the health and safety of themselves and/or others. The University Health and Safety Committee reports directly to the University Executive.
