EHS Management

EHS Policies

A distinguishing characteristic of the University's EHS management system is that policies for health and safety are kept to a minimum, as the systems focus is on practical procedures.

The Environment, Health & Safety Policy is available online via the UTS:Legislation, Rules and Policies website web site. Other policies and Vice-Chancellor's operational directives are available in PDF format under the "Health and Welfare of Staff" section of the Human Resources Unit's HR Manual. These include:

  • Vice-Chancellor's Operational Directive: Environment, Health and Safety Responsibilities
  • First Aid Policy
  • Vice-Chancellor's Operational Directive: Workplace Injury Management and Return to Work Program
  • Manual Handling Policy
  • Communicable Diseases Policy
  • Sustainability Policy
