Work Placement Module: Health and Safety Questionnaire Student Section

Students undertaking Work Experience have the same Health and Safety responsibilities as other employees in the workplace. Responsibilities include taking reasonable care of their own Health and Safety and that of other people who may be affected by their actions, and cooperating with the employer in complying with their legal duties. Please read the following statement and sign the declaration below. I have read the HSE leaflet ‘Health and Safety Law’ and am aware of my responsibilities with regard to Health and Safety. I understand that I have an obligation to cooperate with the risk assessment process and so should declare any relevant medical condition or disability that may affect my health and safety (or that of others) during the placement activity.
