SAFETY MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
Safety Team
The Safety Team of Lapland UAS manages for example the safety objectives, safety policy, safety communication principles, topical safety events, safety budget-related issues and proposals, safety instructions, and safety implementation principles at the university.
The team’s activity leans primarily on the Occupational Safety and Health Act and other acts and statutes concerning teaching tasks.
Specialists and student representatives are invited to the team meetings when necessary and depending on the addressed issue. The safety specialist prepares the meetings and presents the matters to be discussed.
The Safety Team also accepts safety-related proposals that can be emailed to turvallisuus@lapinamk.fi. The proposals are processed in the team’s monthly meeting or immediately, if necessary.
