Keeping our university community as safe as possible is a top priority for us all.
Staff working on campus should ensure that they are fully aware of the safety measures we have put in place to limit the spread of Covid-19. Whether it’s arranging a meeting, in a teaching setting or simply walking across campus, please remember to follow the guidelines for ‘hands, face, space’ and the ‘rule of six’ as they apply in a work setting.
Risk assessment
Make sure you are aware of the detailed risk assessment, which has been applied across the University ahead of staff return to work across campus.
The risk assessment covers measures such as
- Disease control (including downloading the NHS Test and Trace app, and staying at home if you feel unwell)
- Improved hygiene (such as extra hand-washing and sanitisers in all key areas and enhanced cleaning of buildings)
- Social distancing set at 2m in most areas but 1m+ in teaching rooms (where all students should be wearing face coverings and staff have access to face shields, particularly for over-the-shoulder supervision)
- PPE/face coverings
- Safeguards for vulnerable individuals
Code of Conduct
You should also familiarise yourself with our Covid-19 Code of Conduct for Staff and Students.
The Code of Conduct is updated regularly in line with latest government guidelines. It outlines changes to our environment, adaptations to ensure our sites are Covid-secure, and what we all need to do to make sure we keep each other safe.
All staff and students are expected to follow the Covid-19 Code of Conduct guidelines while on campus, as well as standards within our existing Charter/Code of Conduct.
