Principles of the organisation:
- Regard for the nature and organisation of the work, including the nature of the work, hazards, risks and other occupational health and safety factors (positive as well as negative).
- Regard for the University’s organisation and geographical conditions
- Other considerations that affect health and safety tasks.
The health and safety organisation has three levels:
The local level at the faculty departments and areas in the Central Administration comprises health and safety groups (AMGs) consisting of an appointed health and safety manager and an elected health and safety representative and any teaching environment representatives (elected students).
In departments and areas where the working environment is complex (e.g. due to the size of the department or area, laboratories and/or workshops), the health and safety groups can be supported by local health and safety committees.
For smaller units within a main area, it is possible to create a cross-cutting health and safety group.
In the campus cities outside Odense, there are co-ordinating Campus Health and Safety Committees (CAMUs) consisting of representatives from the main areas that are located on campus.
Each of the main areas – SDU’s five faculties and the Central Administration – has a co-ordinating health and safety committee (FAMU).
At University level, the General Occupational Health and Safety Committee (HOAMU) is the top level of the health and safety organisation.
