Safe Working All activities / tasks should be risk assessed before starting Before starting work you should satisfy yourself you are competent to carry out the task Significant risks should be recorded Safe working requires risk assessments, safety procedures and suitable training and instruction e. g. for lone working, slips/trips/falls, working from height, manual handling Leave all areas in a tidy, safe condition. Any faults or damage must be reported

Examples of poor Health and Safety management – unsuitable / insufficient risk assessments (tragically comic)

Personal safety away from BSU premises

River safety The path that runs along the River Avon between Green Park and Windsor Bridge has limited edge protection. When tired, or under the influence, this becomes a significant hazard and the risk of falling into the water increases. Following a number of tragic incidents BANES council (supported by BSU) have installed railings in the highest risk areas. Summer 2012 Summer 2016 If you plan to walk home this way after a night out please consider making the journey with friends.
