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.

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


2.0 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.


3.0 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.

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.

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 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 CS/H&S/004

Campus Services – Building / Functional Area RA Register CS/H&S/005

Campus Services – Task RA Register CS/H&S/006

Campus Services – Fire RA Register CS/H&S/007

Campus Services – COSHH RA Register CS/H&S/008

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.

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

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.


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.

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

Refer to Campus Services H&S Policy CS/H&S/001 which includes list of all nominated parties and current duty holders.

Appendix B also includes responsible Services / parties for various statutory compliance and hazard management categories.

4.3.4 OH&S Programme

Requirement - The organisation shall establish and maintain (an) OH&S

programme(s) for achieving its objectives. It shall include documentation of :

designation of responsibility and authority for achievement of the objectives at

relevant functions and levels of the organisations; and

the means and time-frame by which they are to be 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

Examples of types of OH&S objectives include:

Reduction of risk levels

The introduction of additional features into the OH&S management system

The steps taken to improve existing features, or the consistency of their application

The elimination or the reduction in frequency of particular undesired incident(s).


A competence matrix will be established and a programme of training undertaken to meet the level required where there are shortfalls. 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.

Refer to Campus Services H&S Policy CS/H&S/001 for consultation.

4.4.3.1 Communication With regard to its OH&S hazards and OH&S management system, the organization shall establish, implement and maintain a procedure(s) for: a) internal communication among the various levels and functions of the organization; b) communication with contractors and other visitors to the workplace; c) receiving, documenting and responding to relevant communications from external interested parties.
