Safety Network Newsletter issue 6

Issue 6 of the Safety Network Newsletter was introduced by Nichola Selby, EveryDaySafe Programme Manager, who posed a number of questions we should all be asking ourselves to surface and validate assumptions we make and to think about intent and outcomes.

Readers were directed to the safety training on offer for Hilary Term 2024, while there were details of new reporting available for compliance-related training. The newsletter celebrated an exemplary fire risk assessment by the Examination Schools, a gas cylinder safe practice guide produced by Christina Foldbjerg Holdway, Chemical Safety Advisor at the Department of Materials, and the re-establishment of face-to-face health surveillance.

There was also information on new electrical substation access rules, a safety contacts project and an HR Work-Related Stress Working Group. Resources for the EveryDaySafe Be Fire Aware campaign were distributed, the Safety Network Conference introduced and enhancements to IRIS navigation explained. Read the newsletter below to find further information on all these stories, plus much more.
