Health and Wellbeing

 There is wellbeing support and resources through the colleague wellbeing web pages.

Regardless of your work location i.e. campus or home, you should not work if you are unwell.   

You should notify your line manager that you are unable to work due to sickness as soon as reasonably practicable in line with the Univeristy sickness procedure. 

Colleagues must undertake any mandatory Health and Safety training regardless of their work location and continue to keep this up to date throughout their employment.  

The workstation assessment is a checklist for staff and students to use to ensure that workstations are set up to the best of their ability, to reduce the risk of pain and ill health that can be associated with the use of Display Screen Equipment (DSE). Everyone is required to carry out a workstation assessment, regardless of the work location, to ascertain whether assistance is required. Colleagues should review every time the working environment changes.  

You should liaise with your manager to ensure that your remote working set-up is appropriate and that you are working in a safe manner. However, you must also take responsibility for your own health and safety and that of anyone else who is affected by your work (for example others in your household when you are working from home).  

Your safety is our priority and we have put in place the following safeguards in our workplace: for DSE, lone working, safe zone, accidents/incidents please refer to the health and safety hub.
