The Safety Executive Group (SEG) is responsible for providing active and visible leadership for the University’s safety management system and safety culture. It reports directly to Council and is supported by:
- the Safety Network, an extensive community of practice comprising professional advisers and other safety role-holders
- the Consultative Committee for Health and Safety (CCHS)
These three groups work closely together to provide leadership, strategic oversight and direction.

SEG has two co-chairs – Gill Aitken, The Registrar, and Martin Maiden, Professor of Molecular Epidemiology, Biology. Read Martin’s blog about his ambitions for the EveryDaySafe programme.
