Health and Safety

The Organisation shall comply with all health and safety laws, rules and guidelines and shall be responsible for the health and safety of the Student whilst on its premises or elsewhere in connection with the Organisation’s business activities.
It is recognised that the Student will not be familiar with the Organisation’s premises and the Organisation will adapt its procedures and supervision accordingly. The organisation should hold a brief induction meeting about safety procedures within the organisation (e.g. fire procedures, emergency contacts and first aid procedures etc.)
Where required, the Organisation will carry out a risk assessment, provide training and protective clothing and equipment, make the Student fully aware of any special hazards or dangers and immediately report any accidents involving the Student to the University.
The Student is required to: take reasonable care to avoid injury to themselves and to others; not interfere with or misuse any clothing or equipment provided to protect their Health and Safety; and to report any accident or injury immediately following the Organisation’s procedures.
