Occupational health and safety

The University of Wollongong is committed to ensuring the health, safety and welfare of the working environment for its staff and students and encourages all members of the University community to regard accident prevention and working safely as a collective and individual responsibility. In the first instance, students should consult with their supervisor/s to ensure their research activities comply with all relevant legislation and standards. Within the Science Faculty, induction to laboratory safety is the responsibility of the relevant laboratory manager.

You should also consult with your supervisor/s about relevant OH&S procedures in relation to fieldwork.
