Meet the Safety Team: Home

What do the Safety team do, and how can I contact them?

The Health and Safety Team are here to offer support, advice and guidance on all Health and Safety (H&S) related matters. This can be anything from how do I get a voucher for an eye test to questions regarding legal compliance. We can offer guidance of a variety of different risk assessments and will help to educate you to improve your knowledge and awareness of H&S.

To contact the Health and Safety Team you can use our question form or email us at safety@northampton.ac.uk
