Welcome
Welcome to OHS & IM's Consultation Papers and Trials page.
We use this page to consult the University community about changes to EHS policy and procedure. Sometimes we also seek feedback and participation for surveys and trials.
Consultation helps us to generate better EHS policy and procedure, and to achieve healthier, safer and more environmentally sustainable workplace outcomes for the University.
All staff members are encouraged to provide written comments on the discussion papers posted on this page.

How to provide comments
- Review the discussion paper
- Email ehs-draftprocedurefeedback@unimelb.edu.au. Include in the Subject field "Consultation" and the discussion paper title.
- To guarantee consideration comments must be received by 5.00pm on the consultation expiry date.
- The General Manager, OHS, will consider all comments submitted by staff and, where relevant, take account of the comments into the ongoing development of the procedure, policy or initiative in question.
When we post a proposal for changes to Environment, Health & Safety Policy & Procedure, we will always advertise this in Staff News, as well as send a direct email notification to key stakeholders including elected employee Health & Safety Representatives. Proposed changes to EHS Policy and Procedure will always be available for comment for at least ten working days. More information about EHS Consultation is available in Health & Safety Consultative Arrangements (UOM 312).
