CEFAS25-46 Immersive H&S leadership training experience (YPO DPS 999 - Lot 26)

Notice Description

We operate to the ISO 45001 standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S). Nothing is more important to us than the health, safety, and well-being of our colleagues and everyone we work with. As the type and nature of our work continues to evolve, we must continue to ensure that our safety standards and performance remain consistently high wherever we are and whatever we are doing. We must all take personal responsibility for our health, safety and wellbeing, play our part to prevent accidents, and promote positive well-being. To continuously improve our H&S culture and ways of working, we seek new and innovative ways to engage colleagues to equip them to assess and manage the risks they face in their working environments, consistently demonstrate strong H&S leadership behaviours and remain focused on making safe decisions both in the planning and implementation of their activities. Cefas operates across a diverse range of environments undertaking a breadth of activities, each with distinct H&S considerations. Scientific Research and Fieldwork * Includes marine and freshwater science, environmental monitoring, and aquaculture assessments * Fieldwork often involves working in, on, or near water, handling biological samples, and deploying monitoring equipment Laboratory-Based Science * Conducted at Cefas facilities such as Lowestoft and Weymouth laboratories * Involves handling hazardous substances (COSHH), use of specialist equipment, and adherence to strict lab safety protocols Vessel-Based Operations * Work aboard research vessels like the RV Cefas Endeavour, and a range of chartered vessels, includes sampling, equipment deployment, and navigation in challenging marine conditions.
