Risk Management
EHS Risk Management at the University of Melbourne
In 2006, a new Risk Management Procedure was implemented at the University of Melbourne, which describes the University’s methodology for:
- the identification of health and safety hazards and environmental impacts,
- the process of risk/impact assessment and
- the development of risk controls.
