It goes without saying how important Health & Safety is to all of us at SEC – Nobodies  health should suffer as a result of going to work. As a Branch we currently have only 1 H&S Rep – Dave Bibbey – based at the Southend Campus. 

Covering all SEC 6 campuses the Branch urgently needs more H&S Reps. If you have an interest in being a H&S Rep for your department and/or Campus please get in touch ucu@southessexcollege.ac.uk

There is a full training programme for H&S Reps which is recognised as CPD – more info here – https://www.ucu.org.uk/article/4797/Courses-in-London-South-East-and-Eastern–Home-Counties-Regions

UCU H&S Reps attend the cross- college H&S Committee to represent the interest of staff members. This committee meets once a term and examines any issue relevant to H&S at the college. You can also raise any H&S issue that you feel the college is not addressing with us to take forward on your behalf. This can be either a college wide issue or something specific to your own working practice.

UCU national Website has numerous resources and info on H&S for your use here https://www.ucu.org.uk/healthenv
