Safety and Environmental Protection Services (SEPS) are once again offering a range of safety courses which are available free of charge. They are open to staff across the University.
These courses run as one-day or half day sessions and are delivered by the University insurers, Zurich. Although staff will have priority, postgraduate students may also register an interest and will be offered places if these are available.
Staff may choose any combination of courses from the three available. All are held at Pearce Lodge.
The courses cover the following topics:
Risk assessment (one–day) - This course covers the fundamental principles of risk assessment and is aimed at anyone who has to carry out or review risk assessments.
Inspection systems (half-day) - This course is aimed at staff who set-up or take part in internal departmental systems for carrying out periodic safety inspection of their workplaces. This should be done in virtually all workplaces to some level, including office environments.
Incident investigation (half-day) - This is relevant to all staff and aims to provide a basic understanding of the need for reporting and investigation of near-misses and accidents, an appreciation of how to conduct an effective investigation and how to use the information to best effect to improve safety.
Various course dates are available throughout the year. These can be viewed on this web page:
