    In this talking heads video, we sit down with two health and safety professionals in the higher education sector, Neil Budworth and Scott Trim. Both act as senior health and safety professionals for universities, and explore how the act has helped solved challenges faced in higher education, their approaches to navigating those challenges and what still needs to be done to ensure a safer environment for students moving forwards.

    Their commitment to safety are evident through their positions as board members of The Universities Safety and Health Association (USHA), and they have dedicated their careers to promoting safety and health in higher education ensuring the wellbeing of university staff, students and visitors alike.
