New and Draft Procedures and Trials
Welcome to the Environment, Health & Safety Unit's New and Draft Procedures and Trials page.
We use this page to consult the University community about changes to EHS policy and procedure. Sometimes we also seek feedback and participation for surveys and trials.
Consultation helps us to generate better EHS policy and procedure, and to achieve healthier, safer and more environmentally sustainable workplace outcomes for the University.
All staff members are encouraged to provide written comments on the discussion papers posted on this page.
