It is important that you tell us about any health and safety incidents or unsafe behaviour, so that we can investigate, learn and so prevent future harm. Our investigations seek to understand the underlying reasons why someone has been harmed. It is not about apportioning blame.
Please report all health and safety incidents involving anyone on our premises or during the course of organised work or student activities (e.g. field trips, events). Also, first aid incidents that may or may not be work related. However, if the data is of a sensitive nature (e.g. related to the individual’s mental health condition) you can just record the student or employee ID number rather than their name.
Please contact Security immediately if the incident is serious.
To report an incident via in.beds, click Service desk, then Estates and Facilities.

Please report property defects using the Helpdesk tab.
Your privacy: Your personal information is collected for the purpose of recording and investigating the incident and is shared with relevant parties such as the University’s health and safety team, HSE, or insurance providers, as necessary. Anonymised data may also be used for statistical purposes or disclosed to relevant Trade Union officials. The data will be stored securely and used only for the stated purposes. If you have any questions about how your personal data will be handled, please contact the University's Data Protection Officer - Legal Office (Governance & Planning), University of Bedfordshire, University Square, Luton, Bedfordshire, LU1 3JU
