Safety and Health Policy

The College of Engineering acknowledges its duties under the Occupational Safety & Health Act 1994, to provide and to promote a healthy and safe working environment for members of its staff, students, visitors and contractors, as far as is reasonably practicable. To ensure compliance and enforcement of the rules and regulations as contained in the Act 1994, the College of Engineering abides by its Safety & Health Policy, which states that:

The College considers that high standards of safety and health are integral to the effective management of the College.

The College views compliance with legal requirements as the minimum acceptable safety and health standard and will endeavour to improve upon those standards where possible within the constraints of available financial resources.

The College is committed to planning, review and development of safety and health arrangements in order to achieve a continual improvement in performance.

The Dean of College of Engineering will ensure that appropriate personnel are appointed to assist in the formation, implementation and development of safety and health policy.

Safety and health training for all staff, students and those with specific safety and health duties, will be given the same priority as other essential training required for the smooth and safe running of the College.

All staff, students and others working in the College are expected to cooperate on safety and health within the College and must:

comply with appropriate legal requirements and University requirements as laid down in the University Codes of Practice;

take reasonable care for their own safety and health and that of others who may be affected by their activities;

inform their immediate superior or COE Safety Committee members of any situations that, within the limits of their competence, they consider could give rise to serious or imminent danger or are shortcomings in safety and health arrangements.
