Abstract
This chapter focusses on the special character of occupational safety and health (OSH) management in higher education (HE), OSH trends, options for improvement and the role of European regulation. I will argue why OSH management in higher education requires a different approach to OSH management in industry. OSH in higher education is not only special in character, but it is also challenged by special trends that influence the direction of OSH management in higher education. Options for improvement of OSH management in higher education will be discussed in more detail. To complete the chapter, I will describe OSH legislation in the European Union, its influence on national legislating in the UK after Brexit and the contribution to OSH in higher education of the European Agency for Health and Safety at work. Finally, I will cover future OSH development.
