Health and safety

Workstation audit

A member of the Facilities Department will contact you early in your employment to arrange a workstation audit. An occupational health advisor may also visit you at your desk, if appropriate, to check you are working comfortably and have the correct equipment to allow you to work safely.

Sickness

If you are unable to attend work due to illness you must inform your manager or supervisor before 10am on your first day of absence.  If you cannot reach your Line Manager, you may contact HR in their absence (06125 545678 or 01625 545809).

When contacting the Office, you must provide the reason for the absence, the first day of actual sickness and your expected date of return.  If you know that you will be unfit to return to work on the date previously advised you must contact the Office again as soon as possible.

Human Resources will explain the sickness procedure with you in more detail on your first morning.
