Supervisors can use the information below to help induct contractors and other workers. In addition, supervisors can also customise the local health and safety induction checklist (UTS staff access only) to address the health and safety procedures, activities and hazards in their work area.

Responsibilities

Workers at the university other than staff, including:

  • contractors (must be added to Rapid Global via the UTS contact)
  • affiliates
  • employees of labour hire companies who have been assigned to work at UTS
  • outworkers
  • apprentices
  • trainees
  • work experience students 
  • volunteers (including members of the UTS Peer Network).

must:

  • take reasonable care of, and cooperate with actions taken to protect, the health and safety of both themselves and others
  • follow safe work practices as provided by their supervisor, including the proper use of any personal protective equipment supplied
  • seek information or advice from a supervisor before performing new or unfamiliar tasks
  • report all health and safety accidents, incidents and hazards to their supervisor as soon as is practicable
  • follow the emergency evacuation procedures .

(Visit Health, Safety and Wellbeing Policy)

Know what to do

In an emergency

Dial 

  • 6 from any internal phone, or 
  • 1800 249 559 from mobile phones (everyone who has a mobile phone on campus should add this number to their contacts). 

You should be familiar with the UTS evacuation procedures. UTS: Facilities management provide details of the evacuation procedures, and the Escape from UTS video which shows how to evacuate UTS.

When an accident or incident happens

If you are involved in any accident or incident (including a near miss) at UTS it must be reported. Find out more about reporting an accident or incident at UTS.

If someone is injured, ensure that they receive first aid and/or medical treatment.

Contractors and other workers who injure themselves or damages their property while on UTS premises should contact UTS Insurance.

If you see a hazard or risk

Report it to a UTS staff member or UTS Security and Emergency Management.

Managing risks

UTS: Safety and wellbeing provides details of practical application of health and safety risk management at UTS for a variety of safety topics.

Specific guidance is available on:

  • Building and construction safety induction
  • Coordinating school excursions to UTS

Training

Training for staff and contractors engaging in construction and building maintenance work

Visit Building and construction for the various levels of training provided.
