EveryDaySafe

EveryDaySafe is the result of a comprehensive two-year review of how we manage health and safety. Its overarching goal is to achieve an action-oriented safety culture that reflects the University's position as a world leader in research and teaching. That means everyone feeling confident about the safety of their working environment and taking the right action to keep themselves and others safe.

Be a good safety citizen

We want everyone to become good safety citizens – working together to make sure everyone in our community is safe, wherever we work and whatever we do. Have a look through the checklists of actions, both as an individual member of staff and as a manager or supervisor if you are responsible for others, that you can take to make every day safe.

Remind yourself of the EveryDaySafe campaigns about:

• incorporating EveryDaySafe values into your working day

• knowing what the safety signs around you mean

• being fire aware every day

EveryDaySafe programme

The changes we are making focus on improving leadership, engagement, competency, networking, reporting and systems. Important progress has been made particularly in how we support leaders, supervisors/managers, safety professionals, and all our staff through training.

What do we actually mean by safety?

When we talk about safety, we mean physical health and safety and environmental compliance  ̶  for example making sure that we prevent leaks from our buildings into water systems which then present a risk to health.

Environmental sustainability, mental and occupational health are not part of the EveryDaySafe programme. You can find more information about these in the related links section on the right-hand side of this page.
