Introduction

However, to ensure the University 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:

- Pre-placement training and guidance/ support for students (as appropriate).
- Written placement approval.
- Review of safety procedures, in the placement location.
