It goes without saying how important Health & Safety is to all of us at BCG  – Nobodies health should suffer as a result of going to work. As a Branch we currently do not have any H&S Rep so the Branch urgently needs H&S Reps. If you have an interest in being a H&S Rep for your department and/or Campus please get in touch.

There is a full training programme for H&S Reps which is recognised as CPD – more info here – https://www.ucu.org.uk/article/11708/Courses-in-the-Eastern–Home-Counties-region 

UCU H&S Reps attend the cross- college H&S Committee to represent the interest of staff members. This committee meets once a term and examines any issue relevant to H&S at the college. You can also raise any H&S issue that you feel the college is not addressing with us to take forward on your behalf. This can be either a college wide issue or something specific to your own working practice.

UCU national Website also has numerous resources and info on H&S for your use here https://www.ucu.org.uk/healthenv

Excessive workload is a H&S issue – more info on the UCU Workload campaign can be found here – https://www.ucu.org.uk/workloadcampaign
