As staff, it is your personal responsibility under the OHS Act to cooperate with UNSW in regards to OHS matters. This includes attending any training that is identified as compulsory for your position within the School.

The Training Needs Analysis identifies the OHS Courses you are required to attend. An Internal Training Plan has been developed for the four core courses that you are required to completed (see training plan below). If you are unable to attend the scheduled courses, or are required to complete additional training, please refer to the OHS/WC website.

Please note: Once you have completed training, please advise your supervisor and Yvonne Balakian.

4.3.3 CSE OHS Induction Guide (pdf)

All supervisors must ensure that any new staff members, including casual academics, are inducted into the building. All relevant forms relating to OHS induction of new staff can be found on the HR website.

Once the forms have been completed, the completed forms must be given to Joanne Curro for inclusion on the staff members file.

The CSE OHS Induction Guide has been developed to assist supervisors in carrying out this process.

All visitors to the building must also be taken through an OHS induction. The Facilities Office (Room G07) will ensure that all visitors are inducted when organising swipe cards and access to the building.
