The Research School of Physics has an extensive work, health and safety (WHS) program that aims to provide staff and students with the structures, systems and support to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all people within the school. The School has many and varied potential hazards. These potential hazards must be identified, risk assessed, and appropriate controls implemented. The goal is to eliminate harmful incidents or injury.
For life threatening emergencies you should first call:
Chief Warden - Chris Kafer - 612 56390 / 0457 721 279
RSPhys WHS Manager - Rick Walsh - 612 50105
RSPhys Work, Health and Safety Committee chair - Prof Jodie Bradby. Quick link to RSPhys WHS committee
HSR (Health and Safety Representative)
Ilya Shadrivov - 612 58095
Incidents: If a hazardous incident or injury occurs, please contact your supervisor immediately or the appropriate person for assistance.
All Hazards/Incidents/Exposures MUST be reported as quickly as practical via Figtree
Please complete the various risk assessment templates and forward to WHS.Physics@anu.edu.au when approved and signed. Contact our WHS team for assistance.
