Health and Safety Risk Register

A Risk Register is a list of hazards, associated risks (pre and post control) and controls, sorted in order of the highest to lowest risk. The EHS Manual Procedure 3.1.New. Risk Management states that the General Manager, EHS shall establish, maintain and publish a University-wide register of the University's Occupational Health and Safety risks.

University-wide Health & Safety Risk Register

The University-wide Risk Register captures and quantifies the health and safety hazards and risks present throughout the University of Melbourne. It is indexed by hazard category, for example: chemical, manual handling, noise.

Budget Division (Faculty) & Departmental Health & Safety Risk Registers

Procedural background to Budget Division Health & Safety Risk Registers

The EHS Manual Procedure 3.1.New. Risk Management requires each Budget Division (Faculty) to establish and maintain a Budget Division (Faculty) Health & Safety Risk Register, incorporating risks identified from local risk assessments and from the University-wide Health & Safety Risk Register.

How to create a Budget Division Health & Safety Risk Register

A Budget Division Health & Safety Risk Register should be indexed by activity - as opposed to the University-wide Register, which is indexed by hazard category.

A blank Health and Safety Risk Register template, as well as a number of sample completed Risk Registers for different types of University work environments, have been developed to assist in the creation of Budget Division Health & Safety Risk Registers.

The EHS Manual Procedure 3.1.New. Risk Management states that the General Manager, EHS shall establish, maintain and publish a University-wide register of the University's Environmental Aspects and Impacts.

University-wide Environmental Aspects and Impacts Register

The University-wide Aspects and Impacts Register captures and quantifies the environmental aspects and impacts present throughout the University of Melbourne. It is indexed by aspect category.

EHS Legal Requirements Databases

The University Risk Registers are formulated so that they also serve as EHS legal requirements matrices.

EHS Manual 4.1.New. EHS Legal Requirements describes how the University monitors changes to EHS legal requirements. A subscription to the Enviro Law and Safety Law databases, published by Environment Essentials Pty Ltd, is one of the tools used.

The University's subscription to Enviro Law and Safety Law may be accessed by all staff of the University (while using a computer with an IP address on the University domain) from the following page:
