The Department has a Health, Safety and Wellbeing (HSW) Policy, which documents the Department's senior executive commitment to legally and morally committing to ensuring healthy and safe working and learning environments in all Department workplaces. The Department recognises that employee health, safety and wellbeing (HSW) is integral to achieving excellent educational and work performance outcomes and commits, so far as reasonably practicable to:
Enhancing workplace culture
Consulting, collaborating and communicating with employees, health and safety representatives and other groups within the Department
Allocating adequate resources
Providing transparent and robust information, training and instructions and documentation
Driving continuous HSW improvement.
An important OHS activity is communication of the Department's HSW Policy to all employees. All employees should familiarise themselves with the HSW Policy which should be prominently displayed on the workplace's OHS notice board.
