What do we do in the Safety Committee?

We in the Safety Committee work to ensure that all members feel safe and welcome here at the K-guild! We take care of our Guild members, our premises and, and our environment. We value and work to ensure the psychosocial well-being of the Guild members, and make sure our student and teaching facilities are safe and functioning according to our needs.

In the Safety Committee you learn much about different support resources available to us students, and how to work to promote well-being and equality treatment. This means that we do everything from supporting students in difficult situations, to organizing events around important equality issues. Examples of held events are beading bracelets to support Transgender Awareness Week and arranging interviews with female role models and a movie night in connection with the International Women’s day.

HEAD OF SAFETY

Head of Safety

As Head of Safety I am the leader of the Committee, which means I have the overall responsibility for the committee’s operations and economy, make sure the work moves forward as well as doing the administrative work associated with being head of the committee. I plan and lead our meetings, make a budget and make sure that it is followed, and coordinate the committee with the rest of the Guild by being part of the committee board. I also have the overall responsibility for the events organized by the committee, and perform much of the administrative work such as bookings, sending posters for print, and making sure that events follow the budget.

As Safety Officer I have professional secrecy according to Swedish law, and I often collaborate with the Equality Officers in issues concerning the well-being of the Guild members. As Safety Officer you get to make a difference for real, and something that is often taken up as one of the best parts of being Safety Officer is that you get to work with improving how at home people feel at the Guild. In addition, you learn a lot about the management of Kemicentrum and how that works, and you get experience of what it means to be a safety representative, something that can be a valuable experience for the future.

Environment Coordinator

As the Guild’s Environment Coordinator, our main task is to help the Guild become more environmentally friendly, and there are many ways to do that! We try to find areas where we can improve - such as waste sorting and disposable items - and help all committees to improve their environmental work. We also want to inspire all Guild members by holding events related to environmental issues, such as flea markets and plogging. Last but not least, we go to meetings with the Union's Environmental College, where we get to discuss how we can develop the environmental work together with the Environmental Coordinators of the other sections, and plan events for the entire LTH! The environmental coordinator position is very free so you can choose to focus on the areas you think are most important, and thus have a unique chance to influence the Guild’s environmental work!

Equality Officer

As Equality Officers it is our role to ensure the psychosocial well-being of the Guild members and work with equality treatment issues at the Guild. We have professional secrecy and students can always turn to us if they need support or feel they have been treated badly in any way. We know what support resources are available to us at LTH, Lund University, and generally in Lund, and can often help students get in contact with the right people to handle their issue further. As Equality Officers we are also part of the Equality Collegiate at TLTH, where the Equality Officers from the Guilds at LTH meet approximately once every second week.

As Equality Officer you get to make a difference for real, and something that is often taken up as one of the best parts of being an Equality Officer is that you get to work with improving how at home people feel at the Guild. It is incredibly important to make sure people feel safe in their education and at school, and can always feel confident in being themselves. You also get to learn more about how to work proactively with equality treatment, and how to work with the support resources and tools available to us students.

Safety Officer

Som Skyddsombud med fysiskt ansvar är det jag som ser till att Sektionens lokaler är som de ska, det vill säga är säkra för studenterna och uppfyller de krav som ställs vid skyddsronder. Jag närvarar även på skyddsronder två gånger om året i de allmänna utrymmena och förråden på KC – vilket är mer spännande än man kan tro! Jag sitter även med i HMS-kommittén (Hälsa, Miljö och Säkerhet) där jag representerar studenternas åsikt bland Kemicentrums prefekter, huvudskyddsombud, miljösamordnare och administrativa chefer. Som Skyddsombud har jag enligt lag tystnadsplikt, och jag samarbetar mycket med likabehandlingsombuden i just frågor som rör Sektionsmedlemmarnas välmående.

World Master

The World Masters are accountable for planning and setting up fun events for the K-Guild’s international students. We also work to ensure that international students feel welcome to the guild. We’re also part of the World Master college by the Student Union at LTH where we meet World Masters from other Guilds and together arrange events for all the international students of LTH. When we're not organizing events for international students, we assist the rest of the Safety Committee with their work.
