The Executive Board is responsible for the safety, health and well-being of the staff and students on the University of the arts' premises. A health and safety policy plan has been drawn up by the Board for this purpose. Health and safety policy aims to safeguard the safety and health of staff and students, and to prevent and manage stress at work. Work and study are organised in such a way that unacceptable risks are essentially excluded. The University of the Arts does its best to prevent avoidable absence and incapacity for work. Sexual harassment, aggression, violence, bullying and discrimination are actively tackled. Staff are deployed well and widely. The directors and heads of departments of the faculties and interfaculties are responsible for implementing the health and safety policy plan.
