Personal responsibilities

Staff and students must take reasonable care for their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by what they do, or fail to do, at work and study. Everyone is encouraged to be proactive in health and safety, by following safe working procedures; by ensuring they know and follow the emergency arrangements; and by reporting all accidents, near misses, unsafe activities and occupational disease or ill-health to their manager/supervisor. Every staff member should report any physical defect requiring repair by contacting Estates Helpdesk on 0118 378 7000 or by email on vks02adf@reading.ac.uk

Every member of staff may be required to help assess the risk from hazards in the workplace or arising from work activities. Talk to your line manager if you don’t understand your role in risk assessment. For further guidance see Risk assessment page.
