However, to ensure the ҹ޸þ or Academic Staff do not expose in-experienced students to unacceptable health and safety risks during these work placements, special procedures must be put in place. These include provisions for: Prior assessment of the prospective employer's health and safety record. Pre-placement training and guidance \ support for students (as appropriate). Written placement approval. Review of safety procedures, in the placement location. 17.2 LEGISLATION The duties of the ҹ޸þ Colleges \ Schools \ Departments \ Centres \ Units to both employees and non-employees has been clearly set out previously in Section 3.0 ҹ޸þ Safety Policy. Once students are on placements, they are employees of the host employer and have the same responsibilities as other employees in that employment, including compliance with health and safety obligations. Equally the host employer has to provide the same duty of care to placement students as to his/her own employees. When a College \ School \ Department \ Centre \ Unit or the ҹ޸þ organises placements on behalf of students or insist that students undertake placements as part of their academic course, legal responsibilities attach as per Common Law and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act current edition Essentially, the ҹ޸þ and the academic organising or approving any \ all student placements must satisfy themselves that the industry or concern accepting the student placement are aware of the provisions of statutory safety legislation and are addressing same in a pro-active and visible manner. Responsibilities for student placement should be discharged in conjunction with the Head of School and Head of the Service, Careers and Appointments (C&A). Academics \ C&A representatives approving student placements should ensure that the host employer has a safety statement and proposes to adopt a format of induction training and guidance which will initiate and protect the students in the work environment within which they will be placed. The relevant academic or C&A representative should make every effort to visit the host employer and observe the workplace first hand and review the measures put in place to protect the students from all health and safety hazards which might affect the students. In the case of overseas placements, where it is not practicable for a UCC representative to visit at the pre-placement stage, it may be possible for an experienced independent 3rd party to conduct a visit. Failing this, safety credentials \ performance should be checked with industry sources and regulatory safety agencies in the host country. 17.3 PLACEMENT APPROVAL/APPRAISAL The first stage in the procedures is for the relevant academic \ C&A representative to make written contact with prospective employers who intend to offer placements to students. This should take the form of an introductory letter and a general health and safety checklist. The relevant academic \ C&A representative should make an assessment based on the replies to the checklist and then visit the workplace prior to finally approving a students placement with the host employer. On approval and prior to commencing work, the placement student should attend (a) a compulsory health and safety briefing - to be organised by the supervising academic \ C&A representative and (b) safety induction training at the host employers location. The former may be given by external speakers or industry representatives arranged by the C&A service and delivered to select groups or large numbers of students attending specific categories of employers. This briefing should outline: the requirements and duties on employers and employees under the Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act current edition. general emergency procedures, work place hazards, safe systems of work, personal protective equipment and personal hygiene. general safety awareness when on placement. 17.4 REVIEW AND FEEDBACK It is essential that the placement programme is continually reviewed. Part of this review may be done after the students return from the placement and by visiting the students during the placement, unless the placement is very short (i.e. a few weeks). While the visiting academic \ C&A representative does not need to be a trained safety specialist, it is important that he \ she is competent to observe health and safety practices in the discipline involved. Comments from the host employer and students, on health and safety concerns should also be encouraged and supported by the placement organiser. Should feedback information indicate that health and safety practices are unsatisfactory the placement organiser should make every effort to immediately rectify the situation. If the issues cannot be resolved or if health and safety risks to the student still remain, the academic \ C&A representative should withdraw the placement approval. This should be done in writing to both the student and the host employer stating the reason for withdrawing the placement approval. An essential part of placement reviews should be an effective de-briefing of the students at the conclusion of their placements. This would provide considerable information on safety practices within host companies and would also provide confidence, in their ability to protect students on subsequent placements. N.B. Excellent relevant information is available in the booklet 'Health and Safety Guidance for the Placement of HE Students' produced by the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals of the Universities of the United Kingdom.
