Last reviewed: February 2025

Divisions

The Head of Division is responsible for formulating and periodically reviewing the local health and safety training plan in consultation with staff in the local area.

The local health and safety business partner in the Division will:

• assist the Head of Division to formulate and review the local health and safety training plan;
• facilitate and coordinate group training sessions in the local area; and
• provide guidance to supervisors in determining the training needs of individual staff.

Supervisors

Supervisors are responsible for identifying the training needs (including refresher training needs) of staff and students under their supervisory/management control, in consultation with the staff or student in question. Training needs are based on the nature of work/activity undertaken.

They must determine or review your staff/student's training needs when:

• the staff/student commences with the University;
• the type of work/activities are altered;
• the work environment is altered or new; or
• at least every 3 years

Your local health and safety business partner can provide advice and assistance.

Individual Staff and Students

Individual staff and students should consult their supervisor about their training needs.
