Health and safety department contacts (HSLO / DHSO / DSE facilitators)

HSLOs and DHSOs

The Health and Safety PolicyThe Health and Safety PolicyThe Health and Safety Policy requires Heads of Department to appoint a Departmental Health and Safety Officer (DHSO) or Health and Safety Liaison Officer (HSLO) to advise and/or support them on health and safety related matters. They provide advice for staff on departmental health and safety procedures and can direct to specialist technical advice. DHSOs would generally be required in larger departments or those with higher or more complex risks.

Most departments and sections have a HSLO or DHSO. Some also have HSLOs for centres, units or teams within a department. If your department does not have a HSLO or DHSO, contact your Head of Department directly.

All HSLOs and DHSOs are added to the Health and Safety bulletin mailing list. If you wish to receive this to your email, please add yourself to the subscription list.

DSE facilitators

DSE facilitators are staff appointed by your department/section to help ensure that any actions arising from your DSE self-assessment are taken. If your department doesn't have a DSE facilitator please contact your Health and Safety Liaison Officer.

WHSW

Each department and section has an allocated lead health and safety adviser from the Workplace Health, Safety and Wellbeing (WHSW) team to assist them.
