Report unsafe behaviour

Help keep our campuses safe by reporting someone's unsafe behaviour and hazards.

What you can do

Think about your own safety first. Without endangering yourself or the individual concerned, you can raise it directly. If you do this please also report the incident (see below) as this will assist in preventing a similar incident happening again.

It is not a problem if you do not feel comfortable with a direct approach. You can also report the incident. Please do this as soon as possible and give as much information as possible (including photographs is also useful) to help with identification.

Reporting contractor behaviour

Unsafe behaviour by contractors (or Estate Management staff) should be reported to your campus's estate or facilities helpdesk. This includes incidents such as unsafe use of vehicles on campus, premises hazards/faults (damage, spills) and damage to anything provided for fire safety.
