Hazard Identification and Reporting

Everyone at ECU who observes a hazard has an obligation to report and to fix the hazard where it is safe to do so. For hazards that you can’t fix yourself, report them using the Riskware Incident and Hazard Module.

For information on raising maintenance requests, refer to the DCS Sharepoint site or contact maintenance directly on 6404 5554.

Where a hazard requires more than a maintenance request to resolve it, ECU’s Online Riskware system will prompt completion of an action plan to document actions required to eliminate or minimise exposure to the hazard. It is the responsibility of the Supervisor of the area where the hazard is located to complete the action plan.

The Hazard Resolution Procedure provides further details of the process for reporting and resolving hazards, it also provides a process for what to do if a hazard isn’t resolved to your satisfaction. If you have any queries in regards to the hazard resolution procedure, please contact your local elected Work Health and Safety Representative or the Safety and Employment Relations Team on 6304 2302 or whs@ecu.edu.au.

The ECU Hazard Prompt sheet assists to categorise types of hazards.
