Campus Health, Safety and Quality Assurance
Campus Health, Safety and Quality Assurance develops practical policies and provides competent advice and assurance. The team also supports continual improvement to keep our estate safe, compliant, and well-managed.
About us
The Campus Division Health, Safety and Quality Assurance Team interprets legislation and University requirements to develop clear, practical policies and procedures that enable safe and compliant delivery across the Division. We provide competent advice, support, and training to help managers and teams implement these arrangements effectively within their areas of work.
Through inspection, audit, and performance monitoring, supported by our ISO 45001 and ISO 9001 accredited management systems, we measure compliance, review performance, and identify opportunities for continual improvement and maturity.
Our role is to provide meaningful assurance and reporting to the Campus Leadership Team. This supports informed decision-making and the delivery of a safe, sustainable, and high-performing estate.
Our aim is to protect the health, safety, and wellbeing of our staff. Additionally, we aim to safeguard others, principally students, contractors, and members of the public who may be exposed to risks arising from our work activities. We work to promote a high standard of safety management by collaboratively engaging with operational teams and other stakeholders, to drive continuous improvement.
We work with the University's Safety and Health Services team and other relevant departments to ensure consistency across the University.
For information on how we manage health, safety and quality, please read our Health, Safety and Quality Policy.
