THE BRIEF

Leeds University needed expert Health & Safety support to ensure all areas of the University could be safely reopened during and following the COVID-19 pandemic.

This included completing risk assessments and implementing robust COVID-19 control measures across all areas, with particular focus on student accommodation, lecture theatres, laboratories and catering facilities.

The priority was to protect staff and students, meet government guidance and enable
a safe, phased return to campus life.

THE RESULT

We completed comprehensive risk assessments across all university areas and activities.

We implemented strong COVID-19 control measures, including signage, ventilation, cleaning, social distancing and one-way systems.

We supported the safe reopening of student accommodation, lecture theatres, laboratories and catering facilities, ensuring continuity of learning and campus services.
