Britain’s newest university signs up to use Safeguard

Formed through the union of The Surrey Institute of Art & Design, University College and the Kent Institute of Art & Design, the University for the Creative Arts is one of the UK’s leading providers of specialist art and design education, offering strengths in art, design, architecture, media and communication. With 5 locations and around 6,500 students, the University was looking for a way of improving accident and incident recording and reporting and raising awareness of Health & Safety throughout the organisation.

Health and Safety Advisor, Emma Bodiam, commented: “We are very excited to be working with Rivo on the implementation of Safeguard within the University, we are confident that Safeguard will help us to improve not only the reporting and recording of incidents and accidents, but to provide us with a more robust and effective system for incident notifications, investigation, subsequent follow up action and incident trend analysis.”
