We welcome you to our School and hope you enjoy your academic training during your degree course.

The School is obliged to make you fully aware of the Occupational Health and Safety issues related to the different aspects of your course.

As part of this awareness you are obliged:

1. To attend a Safety Induction Seminar.  The seminar includes a discussion on OH&S responsibilities of staff and students, emergency procedures and evacuation, introduction to staff who assist with first aid and emergency evacuation and a short video on aspects of laboratory or workshop safety.  (see below for seminar times)
2. After you have attended the Safety Induction Seminar you are required to complete an online Safety Test.   At the completion of the seminar you will be given details of how to access the online test. You must have completed the online test before week four of semester one.
3. A one hour practical in the architecture and building workshop during Week Zero. (see below for workshop times)

PLEASE NOTE: it is mandatory for all students involved in first year units that have a practical structures laboratory or design component to complete this unit.  Further attendance in all practical classes will be restricted unless students have successfully completed the online Safety Test.  Results for all units requiring the completion of SRA010 as a prerequisite will not be released until the Safety Test is passed.

Science, Engineering and Information Technology based courses

We welcome you to our Faculty and hope you enjoy your academic training during your degree course.

The Faculty is obliged to make you fully aware of the Occupational Health and Safety issues related to the different aspects of your course.

As part of this awareness you are obliged:

1. To attend a Safety Induction Seminar.  The seminar includes a discussion on OH&S responsibilities of staff and students, emergency procedures and evacuation, introduction to staff who assist with first aid and emergency evacuation and a short video on aspects of laboratory or workshop safety (see below for seminar times).
2. As soon as possible after you have attended the Safety Induction Seminar you are required to complete an online Safety Test.   At the completion of the seminar you will be given details of how to access the online test.

PLEASE NOTE: it is mandatory for all students involved in Science and Technology units that have a practical component to complete a safety unit.  You will automatically be enrolled one (1) or more of the safety units listed below depending on the units that you are enrolled in. Further attendance in all practical classes will be restricted unless students have successfully completed the online Safety Test.  Results for all units requiring the completion of a Safety Induction Program as a prerequisite will not be released until the relative Safety Test is passed.

The three Faculty of Science and Technology Safety Units are:

SBS010 - Laboratory Safety Induction Program (B, G, W)
SBS010 Laboratory Safety Induction Program is a co-requisite for students enrolled in all SBB, SBC, SBF, SBS and SBW-coded units, except units without a laboratory component. Students enrolled in S399 Bachelor of Environmental Science (Marine Biology) or S382 Bachelor of Environmental Science (Freshwater Biology and Management) also need to complete this unit.

SEE010 - Safety Induction Program (G, X)
SEE010 Safety Induction Program is a co-requisite for students enrolled in SEE103 Electronics, SEM111 Materials 1, SEP101 Physics 1A, SEP199 Engineering Professional Practice 1 or SEB121 Fundamentals of Technology Management and a course rule for all students commencing in 2008 (and thereafter) into the Bachelor of Engineering and its combined courses.  In addition, the unit should be completed in the first semester of the first year that the student commences his/her course.

SIT010 - Safety Induction Program (B, G, X)
SIT010 Safety Induction Program is a co-requisite for students enrolled in SIT201 Systems Analysis and Design or SIT202 Computer Networks or all students enrolled in a Bachelor of Information Technology course (S326, S327, S328, S331, S333, S334 or S339) and a course rule for all students commencing in 2008 (and thereafter) into the Bachelor of Information Technology (all streams) and all of its combined courses.  In addition, the unit should be completed in the first semester of the first year that the student commences his/her course.

Off-campus students will be provided with a safety workshop video clip and laboratory manual to be posted on the DSO web site for the unit by Week 6 (14 April) such that they can be accessed by off-campus students.  At a later stage, when students come onto campus to complete practical components of the course they will receive additional workshop training.

Off-campus students are required to use the tools described above to help complete the on-line test for the Safety Induction Programs before the end of their first semester of study.

Laboratory Safety Guide: Some hard copies of the Laboratory Safety Guide will be made available at the induction and the online version will follow on the DSO website directly.
