1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1

The University of Exeter (UoE) has 2 main campuses in Exeter at Streatham and St Lukes, plus various other properties within the city of Exeter.

1.2

Campus Services(CS) is a large and diverse organisation of approximately 750 staff within the University of Exeter operating under the Universities Health and Safety Policies and procedures – see website link for details:

http://www.exeter.ac.uk/staff/wellbeing/safety 1.3

Campus Services scope of services is diverse and includes functions such as catering, administration, maintenance, portering, utilities specialists, estate management and construction.

1.4

The university is supported by a H&S Office providing advice to all aspects of university function, with additional specialist advice available within Campus Services on construction health and safety.

1.5

This document assesses all aspects of H&S management within Campus Services and aims to set out an effective and efficient system of management and reporting in line with OHSAS 18001:2007. This needs to be proportionate to the risk, while ensuring we have a competent and confident workforce.

1.6

A Campus Services H&S Policy document exists (incorporating the H&S Policy Statement) – CS/H&S/ 001.

1.7

A Campus Services OHSAS 18001 Management Plan (CS/H&S/ 002) exists illustrating how compliance is to be achieved. This also incorporates the programme for compliance and improvement.

CS/H&S/Doc003


BSI GUIDANCE Design the OHSAS 18001 Management System The OHSAS 18001 Specification follows the Plan-Do-Check-Review cycle, with a concurrent emphasis on continual improvement. This model fits in neatly with the structure of other management system documents such as ISO 14001. This alignment of the management system documents helps in the facilitation of Integrated Management Systems. The following steps help form the basic structure of the management system and link into the structure of OHSAS 18001. Plan During the planning stage you should: 1. Ensure you have the commitment of top management. 2. Define, with the authorization of top management, the company's occupational health and safety policy. 3. Planning must be completed to establish a framework for identifying hazards, the assessment of risks and the implementation of necessary control measures. 4. Legal obligations must be identified and understood, objectives set and a management programme for achieving them implemented. This entire process should be documented. Implement your Health and Safety Management System At this point you should: 1. Establish roles and responsibilities. 2. Develop procedures for the consultation and communication of OHS information to employees and other interested parties. 3. Document your processes and develop a system of document and data control. 4. Apply a system of operational control. 5. Establish plans and procedures for emergencies. Check your management system and take any necessary corrective action You should aim to continually improve your management system by: 1. Introducing performance, measuring and monitoring practices. 2. Establishing and documenting responsibility and authority for accidents, incidents, non-conformities and corrective & preventative action. 3. Establishing a procedure for records and records management. 4. Auditing and assessing the performance of the management system. 5. Performing management reviews of the system at identified and defined intervals.

INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT

Campus Services achieved accreditation to ISO 14001: 2008 in May 2012. Within Campus Services, Estate Development Service have had accreditation to ISO 9001:2008 since 2010. Campus Services as part of UoE Professional Services hold accreditation to Investors in People (IiP). Campus Services also hold accreditation to Customer First, a recognised accreditation for the customer services industry. Campus Services Residential Services comply with the Universities UK (UUK) Student Housing Code of Practice and are audited against this standard. As part of corporate governance the University employ Mazars as independent auditors who audit various aspects of Campus Services operations. Campus Services aims to set out an effective and efficient system of management and reporting in line with OHSAS 18001:2007. 4.0

H&S ARRANGEMENTS

The numbering system from the OHSAS 18001 standard has been used in this section for ease of reference.

4.3.1 Hazard and risk identification Requirement: Identification of hazards Determination of the risks associated with the identified hazards Indication of the level of the risks related to each hazard, and whether they are, or are not, tolerable Description of, or reference to, the measures to monitor and control the risks, particularly risks that are not tolerable Where appropriate, the OH&S objectives and actions to reduce identified risks and any follow-up activities to monitor progress in their reduction Identification of the competency and training requirements to implement the control measures Necessary control measures should be detailed as part of the operational control element of the system Records generated by each of the above mentioned procedures

Risk Profiles will be developed for each of the services within Campus Services from the outlines included within the Campus Services H&S Policy CS/H&S/001.


CS/H&S/Doc003


Risk Profiles will be established and maintained at least annually for each of the CS divisions. A risk assessment will be established and maintained at least annually for each building where CS staff act as the Director of Building. Where there is sufficient commonality a generic assessment may be used. Within buildings it may be necessary to establish a particular risk assessment for a functional area e.g. a kitchen or workshop. Assessments of plant and equipment use and material/substance handling will generate Task risk assessments used to brief operation staff. Task assessments will be developed for specific tasks as required. See Appendix A and the following documents for more detail. Campus Services – Risk Profile Register

Each of the above will be reviewed at least annually or when any change occurs. Staff will be briefed and a record kept – see 4.5.3 below. Competency and training is defined in 4.4.2 within this document. 4.3.2 Legal compliance Requirement: Procedures for identifying and accessing information Identification of which requirements apply and where [this can take the form of register(s)] Requirements (actual text, summary or analysis, where appropriate), available in locations which are to be decided by the organization Procedures for monitoring the implementation of controls consequent to new OH&S legislation.

Ongoing review of legislation changes planned and implemented will be considered, and information disseminated to staff by use of bulletins or briefings.


CS/H&S/Doc003


Risk Assessments may need to be updated accordingly – see 4.3.1 above. HSE will be used as the main source but University safety professionals share information via the Hasnet e-mail group so are able to assess and assist with legislation and other changes. 4.3.3 Objectives and Programme(s) Requirement - Documented, measurable, OH&S objectives for each function in the 4.3.4 OH&S Programme organization. Requirement - The organisation establish and maintain (an) OH&S Examples of types of OH&S objectivesshall include: programme(s) for achieving its objectives. It shall include documentation of : Reduction of risk levels and authority achievement of thesystem objectives at Thedesignation introductionofofresponsibility additional features into thefor OH&S management relevant functions and levels of the organisations; and means and by which they are to be achieved of their Thethe steps taken to time-frame improve existing features, or the consistency application The elimination or the reduction in frequency of particular undesired incident(s).

Refer to CS 18001 Management Plan CS/H&S/002 which demonstrates how compliance is achieved.

4.4.1 Resources, roles, responsibilities, accountability and authority Requirement: Definitions of OH&S responsibilities and authorities for all relevant personnel Documentation of roles/responsibilities in manuals/procedures/training packages Process for communicating roles and responsibilities to all employees and other relevant parties Active management participation and support for OH&S, at all levels.

The staff Personal Development Review (PDR) process will be used to set training requirements. This is an annual review with a 6 monthly update. New staff are provided by UoE with basic H&S courses. Campus Services staff have their own general induction. CS staff will then receive a building induction and specific training appropriate to task. Records will be maintained by UoE Training and Development – see also staff online resource. Records of building / work area and task induction will be held by line management, based on risk assessment findings. Line management should advise the CS H&S Adviser where any changes have occurred to allow risk assessments to be updated. Refresher training should be provided annually where deemed necessary ie non-regular activity, or more frequently in response to the introduction of a new hazard or non-conformance issue.
