Specialised Risks
The Environment, Health & Safety Unit is committed to embracing Environment, Health and Safety management goals. The primary goal of this unit is preventative action and setting standards that continually improve the EHS performance of the University. Departments will be assisted with identifying EHS risks; the unit oversees the University's compliance with Radiation & Dangerous Goods and advises on a range of occupational health & safety aspects, including ergonomic assessments, manual handling and workplace inspections.
The Insurance Office, within the Office of Vice-Principal & Chief Financial Officer, has the responsibility to protect the University from financial loss that might result from physical loss or damage to assets and injuries to University staff, students and third parties. This is done through the provision of advice and establishment of insurance, self insurance and risk management practices.
The University's Work Cover Policy can be found on the Human Resources website.
