Work Health and Safety Agreement
Work Health and safety agreement as adopted in Departmental Assembly in May 2016
Following the Departmental Assembly held in May 2016, members of the Assembly have agreed that any person working in the laboratories of the department must follow a preliminary training to that offered by the Work Health and Safety Division to obtain a basic knowledge enabling them to work safely in the laboratory. This training and examination to be completed later are under the supervision of the Research Director or the head of the laboratory where the researcher will work.
The preliminary training in Work Health and Safety does not replace the standard training.
