General Health and Safety Policy

People Experience and Culture General Health, Safety and Wellbeing Policy

1. Scope

The Health and Safety Policy covers the approach to health, safety and wellbeing (HSW) for all persons affected by the undertakings of the University of Derby Group, in particular staff and students. It also includes contractors, agency workers, temporary staff, contractors, volunteers and visitors.

For the purposes of clarity, the University of Derby Group will be referred to as ‘the University’ from this point onwards. Terminology for job titles may vary across the University. If this is the case, the terminology used within this policy is deemed to apply to staff/functions in equivalent roles and positions of equivalent standing.
 
This policy, and associated procedure, does not form part of employees’ contracts of employment and the University may amend it at any time.

2. Definitions

3. Health, Safety and Wellbeing Policy Statement

The Governing Council of the University accepts its responsibilities for health, safety and wellbeing (HSW), and will take all reasonable and practical steps to safeguard the HSW of all persons affected by its activities. This statement sets out the commitment of the Governing Council and Vice-Chancellor. This policy will act as a framework to establish a consistent standard for HSW practices across the University of Derby.

The requirements of HSW legislation will be adhered to and will set the minimum standard of HSW performance. Leadership and management of HSW in Higher Education Institutions, a guidance document provided by Universities Safety and Health Association (USHA) will also be adopted as best practice.

PO001 – General Health, Safety & Wellbeing Policy – Uncontrolled when Printed.

The University will seek to ensure that:

All employees, students, contractors, visitors, and relevant stakeholders are expected to share this commitment to HSW by complying with policies and procedures, exercising due care and attention, and by understanding that they too have legal and moral obligations to themselves and one another.

4. The University Health, Safety and Wellbeing Mission Statement:

The University of Derby will create and maintain a positive and proactive health and safety culture, providing a safe and inclusive environment for all which is conducive to staff, students and relevant stakeholders working and studying at the University and any areas under its control.

5. Health, Safety and Wellbeing Key Performance Indicators and ISO:45001 Health and Safety Objectives:

The central Health and Safety Team will hold a HSW manual aligned to ISO:45001 which contains the University’s health and safety objectives along with the OH&S KPIs. These will be normally reviewed annually and progress on these will be reported to each meeting of the University Health, Safety and Wellbeing Committee. 

6. Health, Safety and Wellbeing Management System

The University is made up of several companies, as shown by the organogram. At the date of this document, the group includes University of Derby Theatre Limited and Derbyshire Student Residences Limited. The Governing Council of the University is ultimately responsible for HSW at the University. Governing Council have delegated this responsibility to the Vice-Chancellor, who has appointed a team to disseminate HSW instructions across the University.

Supplementary policies, procedures and guidance documents can be accessed either by the University’s Policy Hub and/or local intranet pages for the relevant College/Department/Strategic Business Unit which should be read in conjunction with this policy. 

Each area of the University may develop further detailed and specific guidance notes and operating instructions for each of their functions. Any additional guidance or instructions will be consistent with the University Health and Safety Policy and this procedure document. 

The University Health, Safety and Wellbeing Committee will act as an interface between the Vice-Chancellor, People, Experience and Culture, Trade and Student Union representatives, local health and safety committees and/or management meetings to resolve any HSW concerns in line with this policy. 

Arrangements

The University will, through its Deans, Directors, Heads of Strategic Business Units, establish, implement, maintain, and regularly review the following:

Health, Safety and Wellbeing Roles and Responsibilities

This section of the procedure document details the organisation, responsibilities, and general arrangements for meeting the General Statement of Health, Safety and Wellbeing.

8. Roles and Responsibilities

Although the responsibility for health, safety and wellbeing within the University ultimately rests with Governing Council and the Vice-Chancellor, being a healthy and safe organisation requires the input of everyone accepting responsibility. Therefore, HSW tasks will be delegated as appropriate through our line management structures. This policy outlines the way these responsibilities are organised in the University. ‘How We Work’ states: “Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 all staff, at whatever level, are responsible for taking care of themselves and other persons who 
may be affected by their acts or omissions at work.”

They are also responsible for ensuring adequate arrangements are in place to manage health and safety and to formally monitor health and safety performance on behalf of the organisation in conjunction with the UHSWC.

Every member of staff who manages or directly supervises the work of others is responsible for their HSW. Accordingly, supervisory staff have HSW duties appropriate to their role delegated from the Head of their Strategic Business Unit.

The responsibility for ensuring these duties have been fulfilled remains with the delegating manager.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act all members of staff have a duty to themselves and others with whom they are working. To this end, members of staff have the following specific responsibilities:

To protect the health and safety of our workforce and any external individuals who visit our sites. 

To familiarise yourself and comply with our health and safety policies and procedures. Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, all staff, at whatever level, are responsible for taking care of themselves and other persons who may be affected by their acts or omissions at work.

If your role necessitates the wearing of safety equipment or protective clothing, you must strictly comply with these rules for health and safety reasons.

a. comply with all local and University HSW policies and procedures and with the arrangements in place to control HSW risks.

b. report to their line manager any accidents, defects, unsafe circumstances, or work-related ill health of which they become aware.

f. be aware of fire precautions for their area.

g. inform their line manager as soon as possible if they are not confident that they are competent to carry out a work activity safely, rather than compromising their own safety or the safety of others.

h. report anything which might present a danger to themselves or anybody else.

The responsibilities of students are:

a. to take reasonable care for the HSW of themselves and of others who may be affected by their acts or omissions.

b. to cooperate with University staff in fulfilling the statutory requirements placed on the University and to comply with general and specific health and safety requirements set out in associated policies and documents.

f. comply with other student information provided by the University, College, Business Unit and/or academic activity, or Union of Students.

The University will engage and consult with the appropriate staff and student safety representatives on relevant matters of health and safety within the University.

Each Department will appoint a Lead Health and Safety Coordinator and, in some areas, additional ‘Health and safety Coordinators’. Health and safety coordinators are offered training in carrying out risk assessments, basic health and safety tours and accident investigation. They will be added to a university network where they will receive support from their peers and the Central Health and Safety Team. Health and Safety Coordinators will assist staff and management to create and maintain a safe environment in their department. They will also update their departmental health and safety committee/relevant meetings

Each department must have an adequate number of trained and competent risk assessors. These risk assessors will be directed by their line managers to work and engage with management and staff to assess the activities in the department and carry out a risk assessment to mitigate against any identified risks/hazards as far as is reasonably practicable. Specialist risk assessments will be discussed with the central Health and Safety Team and organised via the relevant department e.g., Estates will commission the Building Fire Risk Assessments etc. 

Anyone carrying out a risk assessment must be adequately trained and competent and use the hierarchy of controls to reduce the risk to the lowest reasonably practicable level. More information on this will be provided in the risk assessment procedure and through the online risk assessment training.

Academics/technical staff leading a session will be responsible for evacuating their teaching area in the event of a fire, consider and ensure arrangements for non-supervised but authorised onsite attendance of students within laboratories/classroom/research labs. They are also responsible for ensuring their work activities have a suitable/sufficient risk assessment in place and that any mitigation measures have been implemented and communicated to interested parties to reduce the risk as far as is reasonably practicable.

9. Health, Safety and Wellbeing Committees

There are several subgroups and committees across the University; the primary committee is the University Health, Safety and Wellbeing Committee (UHSWC). The UHSWC has agreed terms of reference setting out the following objectives:

a. to provide a forum to discuss and explore strategic management issues relating to Health, Safety and Wellbeing (HSW) risks associated with University undertakings. 

b. to assist UHSWC in championing HSW issues across the University. 

c. to implement policy and strategy regarding HSW management. 

d. to make proposals to VCE for improvements in areas not directly under the authority of the members of the committee. 

e. to promote risk management improvements in the areas directly under the authority of the members of UHSWC.
 
f. to promote and develop a positive and proactive HSW culture within the University.

g. to positively influence the management of HSW of colleagues, students, contractors, and all other stakeholders. 

There is a network of safety subgroups within Colleges/Departments and/or Strategic Business Units; some will be meetings rather than committees where HSW matters are reported, monitored, and reviewed. All will consider matters from the UHSWC, along with local HSW matters; ensuring representation and consultation with their wider  community is available. The Chair of Safety Sub-groups will discuss any matters that need to be raised at the UHSWC with the Head of HSW and/or the Chair of UHSWC. Matters that require immediate action should be addressed within an appropriate timescale and remain the responsibility of the Safety Sub-group Chair. The UHSWC has prepared an agenda template for Safety Sub-Groups who will further ensure that:

Local issues will not be referred to the University Health, Safety and Wellbeing Committee unless they have been unable to be resolved at Sub-Group level. If individuals have a health and safety concern it should be raised initially with line management. If concerns are not resolved satisfactorily, they can be raised with a Trade Union Safety Representative or the central Health, Safety and Wellbeing Team.

10.Health, Safety and Wellbeing Charter

Each College and Department have a Health, Safety and Wellbeing Charter. This charter identifies the organisation and local departmental arrangements that further support the University’s General Health and Safety Policy. It is prepared to further provide health and safety information to staff, encouraging engagement where possible and it is shared with all staff within the College/Department.

11.Staff Consultation and Engagement

The Chief People Officer will ensure effective consultation on all matters relating to HSW with the appropriate safety representatives. Departmental Heads and Management will, where possible/relevant, engage and consult with staff on matters of health and safety. This may be through various means such as staff meetings, relevant training, risk assessment creation/review and policy implementations/alterations etc.

12.Reporting Procedures and Enforcing Authorities Visits

Staff must inform management of any accidents/incidents they have so that these can be documented and investigated at a local level in the first instance. They must also be reported to the relevant Head of Department and the central Health and Safety Team. The central Health and Safety Team will review the accident/incident and where  required report this to the HSE in line with the RIDDOR 2013 requirements. In some instances, the Health and Safety Executive or other related Enforcing Authorities may contact the University and carry out planned/unplanned visits to site. In this situation the person/department the HSE contact (including contractors working on  our sites) must inform the Head of Health, Safety and Wellbeing in conjunction with the Director of Estates as soon as possible. This can be done via Windows Teams or phone call if the staff member is not at their computer.

13.Monitoring and Compliance

Health and Safety Coordinators will carry out planned documented health and safety tours of their department to help identify any hazards and risks for the area so that these can be reported to the Heads of Department for rectification. The Central Health and Safety Team will also carry out a health and safety spot check tour (Charter audit) on each department/school/college within the organisation aligned with an internal schedule. Results of these spot check tours will be submitted to the relevant head of college/department and fed back to the UHSWC. The Director of Estates will monitor health and safety and compliance within the Estates department via various team meetings and through the Head of Compliance and Risk and Estates Health and Safety Advisor.

14.Staff Health and Safety Training Schedule

All staff will receive mandatory health and safety training upon joining the University and then upon the identified time frame thereafter (normally every two years). Further appropriate training will be provided depending on the individual’s role and responsibilities for health and safety. An overview of mandatory training can be found below with a detailed table of mandatory role specific H&S courses available within MyLearning.
