Occupational health safety and welfare
The University of South Australia aims to provide the highest practicable standard of OHS&W and the homepage contains details on policies and procedures and offers an easy to use guide for training as well as outlining responsibilities of all members of the University.
ISST has close affiliations with the schools of Advanced Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering, Natural and Built Environments, and Mathematics and Statistics. Upon commencing at the University you may be required to undertake school-specific induction rather than the requirements of the Institute. Please note that you only have to undertake one set of procedures as they all pertain to occupational health safety and welfare. If in doubt then please contact Rita Mielnik, Institute Administrator, on 8302 5347 for clarification.
As research undertaken within the Institute is unique to the set protocols, we have created research specific operating procedures for staff and student information. Please follow the links, below, to access this Institute specific information.
