WHS13 – HEALTH, SAFETY & INJURY MANAGEMENT TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS
- Mandatory Requirements for All University Staff
- A local induction using WHS23 Induction Checklistas a guideis mandatory for new or transferred continuing staff, fixed term contract staff and casual/ sessional staff working on campuswithin the first week of employment. The checklist may also be used as a guideto induct HDR students, volunteers and work experience students to the workplace.
- As part of the local induction process, it is mandatory that all new continuing and fixed term contract staff complete the online training module –
Work Health & Safety Fundamentalswithin the first week of employment. Some training may be mandatory through the Local Action Plan template.
- It is NOT mandatory for casual or sessional staff to complete any online training courses unless their manager believes particular training is required following analysis of job specific risk. Casual or sessional staff who do not work on campus are not required to undergo local induction however, should refer to the relevant Quick Guides for health and safety information.
- Identifying Individual Training Needs
- PART 1of the guide indicates training that is needed based on specific health and safety responsibilities.
- PART 2of the guide outlines training that is related to exposure to or management of specific health and safety risks.
Note: In determining individual training needs, staff qualifications relevant to the courses listed may be recognised as prior learning.
To identify training needs, managers and supervisors shall:
- Consult with staff to determine any learning gap between current knowledge, skills and/or required competencies for their position.
- Click on individual course titles listed in Part 2 of this guide to view course content and who should attend. This information is also available on theSafety and Wellbeing training webpage.
- Incorporate identified training needs into individual staff training plansas part of the performance development and management process.
- Communicate with staff on how to register for face to face workshops via Register IT, or access each online module using the link for the applicable training provider – see table below. Staff can login using their university userid and password for all providers except for BUPA where they must sign up.
HDR student training needs to address identified risk must be assessed in conjunction with their direct supervisor prior to project commencement. Training needs should be recorded in the HDRStatement of Agreement and reviewed by the supervisor as part of the Annual Review of Progress. Access to online training modules for HDR students will be permitted after the training needs have been assessed. Access to the e3 Learning Online Portal can be organised by contacting the Safety & Wellbeing Team. Students can use their UniSA userid/password to access modules on Learnonline and Virtual Accident, and their staff ID and a new password to sign up to BUPA.
- Monitor Training Plans
The progress of training completion should be monitored in consultation with staff at performance review meetings. Training reports can be run locally or requested from the Safety and Wellbeing team.
There is no requirement to repeat online modules unless there is an identified learning gap or where a university strategic priority or other requirement has placed focus on a particular training need. Completed e3Learning modules can be re-set by contacting the Safety & Wellbeing Team.
