Estates Health and Safety Team

We provide health and safety advice, training and direction to all Estates colleagues, as well as those affected by our work.

We believe that a proportionate, meaningful and reasonable health and safety management system can make a significant contribution to achieving our core objective, creating a world class estate for a world class University.

The online incident reporting form must be used to report all accidents, incidents and near misses.
