SEBE Health and Safety
This area is a starting point for any students studying in the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment (SEBE) who require more information about Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) issues.
Safety Inductions and Training
All students studying a SEBE unit or course must complete a mandatory Safety Induction Program which covers OH&S issues that are likely to be encountered during study. Each unit includes a safety quiz which you must pass. Failure to successfully complete the quiz may result in attendance in practical classes/workshops being restricted.
SRA010/SRA710 - Architecture and Built Environment
It is mandatory for all students enrolled in Architecture and Built Environment units that have a practical structures laboratory or design component to complete either SRA010 (undergraduate) or SRA710 (postgraduate). Further access to the Studio and Workshop may be restricted unless students have passed the online quiz with a mark of 70% or greater. Results for all units requiring the completion of SRA010 or SRA710 as a co-requisite may not be released until the quiz is passed.
Unit requirements:
- Read and understand safety induction material in the unit teaching site
- Pass the safety quiz before the end of week 2 of trimester
- Remain enrolled in the unit for the duration of the trimester

Cloud students
Cloud students should refer to their respective school's safety unit information above. A laboratory safety guide is posted on each unit site which provides all of the required information to complete the unit.
Students will need to complete the requirements of the safety unit within the time frames specified.
Higher Degree by Research (HDR) and Honours students
All HDR and Honours students who work in a practical lab must complete lab safety training. View instructions (PDF, 556.2KB) on how to access this training.
Resources
If you are working with any hazardous materials, equipment or processes the hazards need to be identified and control measures put in place to reduce the risk and keep you and others safe.
A starting point for assessing hazards in research work is a Work Safety Assessment, which you and your supervisor should complete before work starts. The information below is a useful resource for risk management of your work.
