Zone 18 OHSE Committee

The Zone 18 OHSE Committee co-ordinates Occupational Health, Safety and Environment management in this zone, which includes

• The Administration Precinct (buildings 3A-E)
• Monash House (building 65),
• The old Monyx building (16 Miles Street, Mulgrave)
• Units of the Student and Community Services Division located in building 10
• VTAC (40 Park Street, South Melbourne)
• The OHSE unit (currently located on floor 7S of the Menzies Building)

This page provides information on OHSE procedures, papers of the Zone Committee, and relevant links for staff in the zone.

If you are uncertain of who holds OHSE roles (Emergency Evacuation Wardens, Safety Officers, First Aid Co-ordinators, Environmental Officers and Green Office Reps) in your area of the zone, see staff with OHSE roles in Zone 18. The spreadsheet can be filtered by your building or unit, or by a specific role.

Staff with safety roles can find full information on their responsibilities and training needed for these roles, at the university's OHS webpage.

What's new

Stress management for managers

A new online training course for managers and supervisors, on preventing work-related stress, is now available. To access the course, click here.

Mindfulness course planned

It is intended to offer a course in mindfulness-based stress reduction for staff in OHSE Zone 18. The course will run for eight weeks, and will probably start in late September. Details are still being finalized.

Focus on garbage

As part of a new university recycling campaign, waste audit of university buildings will be held, to establish how much recyclable material the building is sending to landfill. The audits will be held in public on tarpaulins outside. If an audit of a building in OHS Zone 18 is planned, we will invite Environmental Officers and Green Office Representatives in the zone to check it out.

Did you know...?

OHSE induction course is to be repeated

All Monash staff are meant to re-view the online safety induction course every three years. This is because OHSE policy and procedures change over time. Please re-view this excellent course and include it in your unit's professional development register, so it will be recorded for your documentation of OHSE compliance.

Zone Committee

The table below gives the meeting dates, agendas and minutes of the Zone 18 OHSE Committee. Any staff member is welcome to suggest items for the committee agenda: please submit these by emailing Kai.Jensen@adm.monash.edu.au or phoning Kai on ext. 55051 by the agenda deadline in the table.

Managers of units in the zone should ensure that the committee minutes are posted on an OHSE noticeboard in your work area.

For safety officers, building wardens and other committee members, see staff with OHSE roles in Zone 18. You can filter the spreadsheet for staff who attend the Zone Committee.

All 2009 meetings will be held in the Sir George Lush Room, building 3C, Clayton. All meeting dates are Wednesdays, and the meeting will be held 3.00-4.00 pm.
