UNSW is committed to supporting the health, safety and wellbeing of our community. This month, UNSW Wellbeing and UNSW Health & Safety are hosting an exciting program of staff events.

On Monday 30 October, we’ll host the webinar Managing Psychosocial Risks in the University Setting with UNSW experts, Associate Professor Carlo Caponecchia and Associate Professor Sharron O’Neill, and guest Peta Miller.

Health and safety in the workplace
Providing a safe and healthy place to work, study and collaborate is central to all we do.
We want you to feel comfortable raising health and safety issues that might affect your wellbeing at work, recognise positive safety behaviours, and work together to build a proactive culture of health, safety and wellbeing across our community.
Earlier this year Salus went live, where you can make a safety report, log a hazard, enter a safety inspection, create a risk management form, or a safe work procedure online.
We’ll continue to strengthen positive safety culture through the implementation of the Safety Recognition Toolkit and roll out of the Speak up for Safety cards which you can use to stop any unsafe activity.
In our Safety Motto video, Think Safe, Be Safe, Home Safe, launched this month, the Vice-Chancellor Attila Brungs connected with the statement: safety is a shared responsibility. We encourage you to reflect on what this means for you and what it means for the University at large.
