Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)
Our commitment...
The University of Sunderland is committed to meeting all statutory and best practice requirements in respect of health, safety and environment.
In particular, the University seeks to:
- create a learning and working environment for students, staff and visitors that actively promotes their health, safety and wellbeing
- embrace environmental responsibility and sustainable development at the heart of our academic and business affairs
How do we achieve this?
The University has a wide array of arrangements in place to ensure that these commitments are met. These include:
- organisational arrangements
- policies and procedures
- planning, reporting, monitoring and review processes (i.e. action plans).
What are the organisational arrangements?
For further information on the University's HS&E Organisational arrangements please visit HS&E organisation on the left hand menu or alternatively click here.
What are our policies and procedures?
These are contained in our Health, Safety & Environment Manual.
Our HS&E Action Plans:
The core action plan is the University Corporate, Health, Safety & Environment (HS&E) Action Plan.
The action plan contains a number of agreed actions which seek to achieve the HS&E strategic aims. Many of these actions are for specified individuals (e.g. a member of the Environment Strategy Group) but others are for the wider University management.
The Corporate action plan is supported by local HSE action Plans within each Faculty and Service.
