The COSHH Regulations impose duties on the University to protect its staff and any other persons, whether at work or not, who may be affected by the University's work involving substances hazardous to health, including biological agents. The Regulations, and compliance with them, must constitute an integral part of the management system of the University’s Faculties/Departments. Compliance with the Regulations not only ensures compliance with the law, but will prevent incidence of ill health, ensure best working practice and will encourage the evolution of a positive health and safety culture within the organization, whereby our students will be taught by example, the best standards of health and safety.
