3.1 Introduction

The University of Exeter is a large and complex human community, the proper functioning of which depends greatly on the attainment of a safe and healthy environment for its members, visitors and members of the public. Health and safety standards in the University will be at least as high as those required by legislation and, where possible, even higher. On leaving the University, students should take with them an attitude of mind which accepts good health and safety practice as normal. This can only occur if staff set a high standard by personal example.

To fulfil its statutory obligations the University has the following elements of organisation in place:

The component parts of these elements, and their interrelationships, are shown on the Organisational chart.
