Safety: EHS Management System
The University is committed to implementing systems that manage the workplace risks to personal safety and the environment. Risk Management Office is the central coordinating unit, but the responsibility for actual implementation has been delegated to appropriate levels of the workplace. The Faculty of Engineering Environment, Health and Safety Committee is responsible for coordinating environment and safety management in the Faculty and the Deaprtments of the Faculty are responsible for implementing the system in their work areas. Environment and safety are being managed using two internationally recognised systems; EMS (Environment Management System, ISO14000) and Safety MAP (AS 4801). Safety MAP and EMS are very similar in their elements, and they are best implemented by integrating them into the same management system. An implementation strategy has been developed to ensure an adequate and consistent approach across the Faculty. This implementation plan has two major components.
This strategy is outlined in the Implementation Strategy flow chart.
