This means that UiB must ensure: </p><ul><li>a fully satisfactory working and learning environment </li><li>diversity, openness and inclusion </li><li>accessible, functional and safe workplaces and buildings </li><li>continuous and systematic HSE work through the active participation of employees, safety representatives and leaders. </li></ul><p>This means that HSE must be clearly organised at all levels and that the working environment must be surveyed, risk assessed and followed up in accordance with regulatory requirements and internal rules.</p><h3>HSE - a shared responsibility </h3><p>The working environment is created through day-to-day interaction and dialogue. All staff and students have a responsibility to actively participate in this. Employees and students must have the necessary training and sufficient expertise to manage HSE challenges within their own work and study situation.</p><p>HSE is a leader responsibility at all levels and is an integral part of all leadership. Safety delegates fulfil a supervisory function and are collaborators for the leaders. It is important that both leaders and safety delegates have good expertise in systematic HSE work. When risk factors on occupational health issues are being triggered, the employer shall ensure assistance from The Occupational Health Service.</p><p>Clear roles and responsibilities with a mutual understanding of and respect for the various functions, clear organisation of and predictability in the work are prerequisites for sustaining and developing a good working and learning environment. The university’s leaders, safety delegates, staff and students must, together, actively contribute to the development of the working environment. </p><h3>HSE goals</h3><p>The Action Plan for Health, Safety and the Environment is based on the university’s strategy 2023-2030 ‘Knowledge That Shapes Society’ and includes three HSE goals. </p><p>UiB shall be characterised by:</p><ol><li>Good and inclusive working communities </li><li>Safe and functional workplaces</li><li>Good safety culture and emergency preparedness</li></ol><p>Each HSE goal is a priority area that is specified through sub-goals for the period 2023–2026. The goals are realised through central measures and local HSE action plans at faculty and department level, and through various forms of interaction between units and levels.<br /> </p><p>The following UiB governing documents also support the HSE goals: </p><ul><li>The University’s Emergency Preparedness Plan</li><li>Management system for Information Security and Data Protection</li><li>Management system for securing buildings and valuable objects</li><li>Action Plan for Diversity, Inclusion and Gender Equality</li><li>Action plan for climate and environmental work</li><li>Masterplan for Properties and Campus</li></ul><p>The student learning environment is specifically addressed in the Action Plan for Learning Environment. </p><p>The HSE Action Plan is intended to contribute to ensuring that everyone working at UiB is safeguarded and is not subjected to negative impacts due to their work.</p><h3>Priority areas for health, safety and the environment for the period 2023-2026</h3> <div class="uib-tabs-container"> <div class="tabs-content"><div id="a-priority-area-good-and-inclusive-working-communities"> <h2>A.
