Health & Safety Training
The Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 and the amendment in 2002 requires employers to train and inform all employees about the hazards in their place of work and how to control these hazards. Training and orientation will largely be carried out within Departments by experienced staff. The University Health & Safety Team recognises specific issues and hazards that have been shown to cause injuries, based on accident reporting data. These training sessions are designed to improve awareness and prevention methods to reduce the incidence of these injuries.

If the times of the training are unsuitable for you and/or your department, or you have a specific hazard or issue for a training session, we may be able to tailor a session for you. Please feel free to contact us.
