Introduction

The Workplace Health and Safety Procedures Manual has been developed to assist and protect employees at the University of Southern Queensland.  The Manual contains the Workplace Health and Safety Policy approved by the Council of the University along with relevant procedures.

This Manual has been developed by the USQSafe unit, part of the University's Human Resources department, in consultation with a range of employees and members of the USQ Executive Workplace Health and Safety Committee.  The policy and procedures reflect the requirements of the Workplace Health and Safety Act 1995 (Qld).

The Manual is for use within the University and the information is believed to be reliable and current.  The University makes no guarantee and assumes no responsibility as to the absolute correctness of the guidelines in all circumstances or for their suitability outside USQ.
