Your Individual Duties • Take reasonable care of your own health & safety and think about others who may be affected by what you do • Co-operate with the University • Do not misuse /damage safety equipment provided • Refer any health & safety concerns to a responsible member of staff • Comply with all health & safety legislation • If you are in any doubt about what you are doing, stop and ask
Safe Working • All activities / tasks should be risk assessed before starting • Before starting work you should satisfy yourself you are competent to carry out the task • Significant risks should be recorded • Safe working requires risk assessments, safety procedures and suitable training and instruction e.g. for lone working, slips/trips/falls, working from height, manual handling • Leave all areas in a tidy, safe condition. Any faults or damage must be reported
Examples of poor Health and Safety management – unsuitable / insufficient risk assessments (tragically comic)
If in doubt always ask. If something doesn’t look right, tell a responsible member of staff about your concerns…………
River safety The path that runs along the River Avon between Green Park and Windsor Bridge has limited edge protection. When tired, or under the influence, this becomes a significant hazard and the risk of falling into the water increases. Following a number of tragic incidents BANES council (supported by BSU) have installed railings in the highest risk areas. Summer 2012 Summer 2013 If you plan to walk home this way after a night out please consider making the journey with friends.
