- To consider reports made by enforcing authority inspectors e.g. Health and Safety Inspectors, Local Authority Inspectors, Fire Brigade Inspectors etc.
- To consider reports and inspections reports made by the Government or Trade Unions on health and safety issues.
- To help develop local safety rules, and systems of work including the University Safety Policy and to consider local problems.

Conduct and Safety Committees
The Environment, Health and Safety Committee will need to meet as frequently as business dictates. It should, in any case meet once per term. Dates of proposed meetings must be publicized to enable matters for the agenda to be submitted in time.
The minutes of the committee must be displayed/brought to the attention of all employees it covers.
It is most important to appreciate that the committee has no executive responsibility and is solely advisory. Any executive action recommended will be undertaken at the discretion of the Executive Vice President for Administration.
Environment, Health and Safety Subcommittees
In response to specific needs of the University subcommittees have been appointed. The role of these committees is to monitor and make suggestions for improvement in their corresponding area.
