It is a natural extension to include the health and safety of students, contractors and visitors on University premises.

- To keep under review the University's legal obligations and health and safety measures.
- To receive safety audit reports, accident reports, reports from enforcing authorities from safety representatives and from Departmental/School Safety Committees and to make recommendations including any corrective action.

- To assist in the development of safety policies and procedures.
- To review health and safety training and communications.
- To provide appropriate links with relevant enforcing authorities.
