Melbourne School of Engineering Environment Health and Safety (EHS) system
The Melbourne School of Engineering Environment Health and Safety (EHS) system encompasses six budget departments (Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Computer Science & Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Geomatics) and the School Office.
Overall responsibility for EHS system in the School lies with the Dean of Engineering. The system is managed by the School of Engineering EHS Committee which reports to the Dean via the Management and Resources Committee.
Day to day management of EHS in the departmental units is devolved to those units, where the responsibility rests with the Heads of Department and the School General Manager. Departmental EHS Systems are constructed according to a common faculty EHS Management framework with appropriately appointed local committees and EHS personnel reporting to the respective Head of Department. Departmental EHS issues are reported either directly to the Dean or through the School EHS Committee.
The School and Department EHS systems operate within the University EHS policy and regulations, and all procedures, documents and records comply with the University EHS Manual and procedures of the Risk Management
