HSE Manager, Faculty of Health | Deakin University

“We deal with students and their safety, which represents a series of unique challenges, especially when on placement.”

Wanting to ensure that University lecturers can provide cutting edge educational experiences, Brendan led a project of hazard mapping teaching and research activities.

A pragmatic approach to safely educating the future in safe environments and maintaining quality teaching and research programs was developed.

Focusing on an enhanced student journey, employees were upskilled in hazard identification and control utilising a specialised designed hazard mapping toolkit. With a greater understanding of hazard management, safety conversations are proactively had with confidence.
