1) Become a Faculty or PS Division UCU Health & Safety Rep
The branch is looking to recruit UCU Health and Safety Reps for each Academic Faculty and each Professional Service Division.
Interested? Already a trained H&S rep? Email ucu-office@bristol.ac.uk for more information and to volunteer.
Trained UCU H&S Reps are granted time off:
- to take an active part in workplace risk assessments
- to investigate potential hazards
- to carry out inspections of the workplace in work time
- to be consulted on new working practices
We are particularly keen for H&S reps to investigate the hazard of stress caused by overbearing and excessive workloads
UCU training is available [link].
