Policy
Introduction:
The University Health and Safety Policy is divided into 8 main Parts, the current section titles of which are listed below. Each Part of the Policy is issued with the approval of the University Health and Safety Committee, and upon the authority of the University Court.
The Keynote Guide to the Health and Safety Policy may be viewed and printed as a conventional text (html page) version (as can all the other Parts of the Policy). A link to the .pdf version of the revised Keynote Guide is also available below. This requires Adobe Acrobat, which may be obtained as a free download.
All Parts of the Health and Safety Policy can be accessed by clicking on the hypertext links below or using the navigation menu
to the left, to obtain the relevant
"Index" page for each Part, then following the links for subject headings, as required.
Some sections contain further hypertext links to supporting documentation and guidance which are not part of the Policy proper.
Each part of the policy including the keynote guide can be printed straight from your web browser.
