OHS Auditing

UNSW OHSMS Audit Procedure

WorkCover OHS Audits

UNSW is a licenced workers compensation self-insurer. WorkCover NSW regularly audits the University's OHS Management System (OHSMS) as part of the licence renewal process.

The most recent audit took place from 17-20 July 2007 in three areas selected by WorkCover - the School of Computer Science and Engineering, the Lifestyle Centre, and Tiggers Childcare Centre.

The successful result of the audit is a reflection of the hard work over several months by key people within the three areas audited and by the OHS team within Human Resources. WorkCover indicated that continued implementation of the OHSMS across the University would assist UNSW to be better prepared for future audits and help make UNSW a safer place to work.

School and Unit managers should contact their Faculty/Division OHS Coordinator for advice and assistance with OHSMS implementation.
