Work health and safety
We are a healthy university. The health and safety of everyone on our campuses and facilities is a major priority. We do all we can to make sure our University is somewhere staff, students and visitors feel safe and protected at all times.
Information for Students:
It is important to report all injuries, illnesses, hazards and near misses to a member of the University staff as soon as reasonably possible. If you notice a hazard or are involved in an incident, please inform a member of University staff so they can log a Health and Safety Incident Report on your behalf. Alternatively, contact the Health and Safety Team directly at usafe@newcastle.edu.au or call 4033 9999 and select number 5. Further information about Student Health and Safety can be found here.
UPDATE: The Risk Management Introduction training module now available in Discover.
SAFETY ALERTS
From time to time the University may issue a safety alert as a reminder or as advised by relevant authorities. These are important and any advice should enacted immediately.
