See how our new and revised Work Health and Safety Management procedures are enhancing the university’s processes for managing electrical risks, high-risk activities such as working at heights, plant and equipment, and contractor licenses and registrations.
Staff working alone on campus are encouraged to download and activate the SafeZone app to notify security and access support.
We are supporting work areas to participate in design processes that inform safer and ‘fit for purpose’ facilities, while collaborating and consulting with contractors about safety issues.
The WHSMS procedures, worksheets and forms (listed below), have been through consultation with the WHS Management Committee, Campus WHS Committees, and the ACU Staff Consultative Committee (ACUSCC). Following the consultation period, the procedures were updated where relevant and have been approved by the Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Greg Craven.
The new and updated documents are available on the policies and procedures pages of the ACU website or the your safety and wellbeing HR webpage.
