Supervisors
Supervisors include those who oversee staff work programs, student research, lectures, tutorials, practicals classes and field trips. To meet their due diligence they must:
- encourage appropriate positive attitudes towards OHS
- ensure staff and students participate in approved OHS training
- use a documented risk management process to manage OHS risks
- apply relevant OHS policy and procedures
- actively participate in OHS inspections and audits
- include OHS performance in staff appraisals
- ensure all hazards and incidents are reported and investigated appropriately and suitable controls are implemented
Supervisors can delegate tasks to a suitably qualified person, but they are accountable for ensuring that the person is competent and has had the relevant training.
