Other induction & training available via the WHS Unit includes:

 

Student induction keyboard_arrow_up

All students must receive information about emergency procedures. This is normally done by staff showing the evacuation video at the first classes of the Semester.

The video is available in each lecture theatre. Contact the IDS help desk #12345 option 1 for technical assistance. If a copy of the relevant video is not available see the WHS emergency evacuation videos.

Information about emergency procedures is also emailed to all students at the start of each semester and is posted on the student portal.

Visitor induction keyboard_arrow_up

Staff who are hosting visitors to the campus must inform those visitors  about emergency procedures.

Event organizers must make information about safety available to anyone attending events on University premises. This could be through having the information in the conference/event pack (if applicable) or by reading out the statement at the start of the event.

  • Event safety statement

Where a person is under competent supervision while visiting an area of low risk, an induction may not be required. However, in areas where there is inherent risk (eg laboratories, workshops, plant rooms) an appropriate induction is required.
