The Faculty of Engineering - is committed to providing a
safe and healthy workplace for students, staff and
visitors and adopting a socially responsible approach
towards protecting and sustaining the environment.
Promoting a safe, healthy and environmentally sound
environment is the responsibility of all staff. The
Faculty utilises the UTS EHS Management System. Details
on the EHS Managment System can be found on the EHS
website
here. The
current Faculty EHS Action Plan outlines
responsibilities, procedures and high risk hazard
programs that the faculty needs to adhere to to satisfy
legislative requirements. The Action Plan also details
required management, documents, records and resources
needed for this. The current EHS Action Plan can be
found
here.
An important part of the action plan is ensuring risks
are controlled throughout the faculty. The faculty
laboratories are a high risk area. One procedure used to
minimise the risk in the laboratories is to conduct
safety inductions for staff and students. Any staff or
students working unsupervised in the laboratory must
have completed a safety induction. The current Safety
Induction can be found
