New health and safety training and competency protocol launched
The new protocol helps line managers and staff to recognise where the necessary health and safety competencies have already been attained and identify where further development is needed.
The new protocol can be found at www.leeds.ac.uk/safety
The protocol is relevant to all staff, and key matter covered include:
- new definitions of training and competencies
- a flexible local training matrix to be completed
- competency assessments to be completed
- extra training required
- record keeping
- use of external trainers
Any questions or comments on the protocol can be sent to your Health and Safety Manager or directly to safety@leeds.ac.uk
Health and Safety Services plan to review the protocol in six months to check its effectiveness, and would be delighted to hear your views.
