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.
