About Health, Safety and Wellbeing at Sussex
The University of Sussex Health, Safety and Wellbeing (HSW) Service provides access to a team of professionals and technical expertise to assist Faculties, Schools and Divisions to undertake their duty to effectively manage health, safety and staff wellbeing to meet statutory requirements, the University Health, Safety and Wellbeing Policy, and best practice.
The HSW Service is following a 3-year Health Safety and Wellbeing Plan aligned to the Sussex 2035 Strategy. This plan includes an overarching set of priorities and related objectives to address ongoing compliance requirements, to achieve the aims of the Recovery and Rebuilding Strategic Plan (RRSP), develop the foundations for Sussex 2035, and to support specific/ relevant Sussex 2035 strategic actions as they develop.
The Health, Safety & Wellbeing Team is working to achieve the following:
- Be a sector-leading, pragmatic, professional health, safety and wellbeing service.
- Health, safety and wellbeing embedded into all aspects of Sussex life, ensuring compliance, promoting continual improvements and best practice.
- Act as ‘enablers’ for Sussex and our wider community to flourish, be sustainable and progress.
Full details of the service the Health, Safety & Wellbeing Team provides is available here.
