I am a Head of Department
I am a Head of Department: How will I benefit from better Safety Management?
You have told us that you want:
confidence that you are fulfilling your responsibility by doing everything to ensure the safety of people in your department
a way to see where you can simply direct strategy for improving safety in the department and fostering good safety culture
your people to find it clear and easy to work, research, and study safely
a tool to help you justify when you need safety support from elsewhere in the University
simple continuity for your DSO, other safety role holders and the next Head of Department. You don’t want them to have to re-invent the wheel or start again.
to know that the University can pro-actively target safety support where it is needed. You don’t want to be overlooked
We aim to give:
you a department safety profile, highlighting where you may need to prioritise your safety strategy and allowing you to justify the need for more help
your safety role holders help, and a simple system, to define relevant instructions and procedures for safe management, work, study and research in your department
the University safety data about departments that can help them prioritise and focus their support and resource back to you, where it is really needed
