Safety Information for Hosts and Students
Page content: Safety Information | Student Medical Authorisation | Safety Induction | Reporting of Accidents | Risk Management, Hazard Identification, Assessment and Control | Contact Information | Website Summary Safety InformationThe University of Melbourne has detailed policies regarding environmental health and safety. It is in reference to some of these policies that we have developed some basic procedures, guidelines and recommendations for both AMS students and supervisors. The Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences has also developed its own Environment, Health and Safety website: http://www.mdhs.unimelb.edu.au/environment_health_and_safety. Student Medical AuthorisationA major part of ensuring a student's safety is being able to provide adequate and appropriate supervision. To assist you with this, all AMS students will be required to complete and submit to the AMS Administrator a Medical Information form prior to the commencement of semester 6. This form asks for details of current medications, known medical or physical problems or any other problems of which student supervisors should be aware. Where a potential problem is identified, we will provide AMS project supervisors with the necessary information. Safety InductionWe expect supervisors to ensure that students undergo a safety induction and any necessary training before commencing their activities. Many of you will already have safety induction and/or training sessions in place. A standard safety induction would involve the provision of the following:
Further imporant information regarding student safety off-campus can be located at:http://www.mdhs.unimelb.edu.au/environment_health_and_safety/staff_and_student_safety_off_campus Reporting of Accidents/IncidentsMost AMS host sites will already have established safety measures and procedures. Therefore, it is likely in the event of an incident or accident, you will have your own incident report form to complete. If the accident involves an AMS student, please provide the AMS Administrator with a copy of the report. In the case where no such report is available, we ask that you obtain a copy of the University's Incident Notification (S3) form, and complete and submit it to us accordingly: www.unimelb.edu.au/ehsm/Incident_S3web.pdf and for more details re incident reporting: http://www.pb.unimelb.edu.au/ehs/ehs/incidentreporting/ Risk Management, Hazard Identification, Assessment and ControlUniversity of Melbourne students are encouraged to conduct documented hazard assessments in their work environments in order to identify, assess and control hazards in a systematic way, consistent, relevant and applicable to all University activities.
Guidelines regarding the identification, assessment and control of hazards may be found at: http://www.unimelb.edu.au/ehsm/3.html#3.1 . See also the relevant MDHS webpage on Risk Management: http://www.pb.unimelb.edu.au/ehs/riskmanagement/ for relevant checklists and assessment forms. For students who are undertaking research in areas with a high prevalence of HIV or in an HIV-risk working environment, the STUDENT INFECTIOUS DISEASE GUIDE must be reviewed by students and supervisors. If applicable, please complete and submit the front page form to the AMS office ASAP: http://www.mdhs.unimelb.edu.au/files/mdhs/ehs/O8%20student%20ID%20Guide%20v2.pdf
