It is important to address health and safety issues as soon as possible to minimise the risk of harm from hazards. The University has Notification and investigation processes which are provided to ensure that health and safety matters are reported, investigated and resolved effectively. These processes follow sequential, escalating steps for resolution of issues. WorkSafe WA can be notified if there is a risk of imminent and serious harm. Where a worker has a health and safety issue or problem that needs to be resolved the following steps shall be followed.
