Environmental Health & Safety committee (EHS)
Dean's foreword
The Faculty of Science is committed to meeting the provisions and requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 and thereby to ensure the health and safety of our staff, students and visitors to our facilities. The management of the Faculty will take all measures necessary to ensure adherence to safe work practices and conditions and these will be given priority in the Faculty's planning, procedures and work instructions.
The creation and maintenance of a safe and healthy working environment is an integral part of our operation and we actively pursue the goals of this policy. Victorian WorkCover Authority's SafetyMAP program is the vehicle which has been adopted to ensure that these goals are achieved.
It is expected that, through consultation and co-operation, all staff, contractors and visitors will observe rules and safe working practices and make every effort to reduce the risk of injury to themselves, their fellow workers and others.
The management of the Faculty of Science is committed to the provision of appropriate resources and training in order to assist all staff to fulfil their responsibilities and maintain a safe working environment.
