If you have a concern relating to any Health and Safety Issue on campus you can contact any of the reps above. As Health and Safety Reps we have a legal right to Investigate and Inspect any campus area and we can support Unite members, other Union members or non-members. We would encourage you to join a union though to give yourself full representation and amplify your voice.
