Safety

Head of Department's Commitment to EHS

The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering 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 Department will take all measures necessary to ensure adherence to safe work practices and conditions and these will be given priority in the Department’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. The University has adopted the Victorian WorkCover Authority's SafetyMAP to ensure that these goals are achieved and the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering is committed to maintaining its accreditation under this Program.

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 Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering 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.
