Induction and Training
Induction and Training are essential for the safety of anyone who comes onto University grounds.
Induction
Induction is an important part of the School's OHS&W plan as it ensures all personnel on campus are aware of the necessary procedures for safe work within the School.
All new staff and students at the School must undergo the General School Induction which provides overall training on safe work, hazard prevention and emergency procedures. Additional inductions exist for specialised work areas such as the T-Ray Facility, the Anechoic Chamber, the Workshop and Power Laboratories.
You are encouraged to view these induction documents to prepare you for work in these areas, however they are not a substitute for attending a formal induction session. Attendance at these sessions may be compulsory for users in the relevant areas of work and attendance records are maintained for auditing purposes.

Visitor Safety Guide
The Visitor Safety Guide document provides a basic overview of safety and evacuation procedures within the School. The Operations Manager must be informed if any visitors will be joining you on campus to arrange an induction. However, if the visitor is only very short-term (e.g. a friend joining you for an hour in your office) this is not required, however YOU MUST inform them of evacuation routes and provide them with a copy of this document to ensure their safety should an emergency occur when you are unavailable.
