As
presented at the last School meeting, our new School Manager, Eugene
Fredericks, will be working closely with the OHS Committee to ensure that all
staff and students in the School operate in a safe workplace. One way of
achieving that status is to ensure that all personnel have undertaken the
required OHS training, depending upon their individual roles and
responsibilities in the School.
In
addition, we are required to regularly report to Faculty on our training
completions across the School.
For
your information, the OHS training requirements for staff and students can be
found here:
All
supervisors and managers are required to complete the face-to-face course, ‘Essential
OHS for Supervisors and Managers’, which covers the management of safety
and hazards in the workplace. This course needs to be completed every three
years. The next course has been scheduled for Tuesday 16th December from
09:00 - 12:00 midday in the Surgery Seminar Room. The enrolment for this
course is strictly limited to 20 participants.
I
will be attending this course and would appreciate seeing as many Heads of
Departments and other senior staff (who are managers and supervisors) also
attend, as the propagation of a culture that values safe work practices
begins at the top!
No
immediate action is required from you, as Ms Ganeema Tokhi, who is a part-time
OHS Officer for the School and MIMIR-PHI Institute, will contact staff
individually to invite them to attend the course on 16th December.
Staff
and students will also be advised in due course as to their other OHS training
requirements.
Thank
you for your support in this important matter.

Head, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health
