Schools are among the safest places in the community for children and young people. It is essential that all schools continue to provide a supportive learning community where all students feel they are safe.

Students have a fundamental right to learn in a safe, supportive environment and to be treated with respect. School staff, parents and the local community also have the right to teach, work and participate in an environment that is safe and supportive. The community rightly expects all education systems and leaders to take every available measure to ensure the safety of students and the broader school community, and to protect and support them.

All employers have a legal obligation to provide a healthy and safe workplace so far as it is practicable to do so. Schools also have a legal duty of care towards their students. Establishing a culture which incorporates effective OHS processes and documentation will assist in meeting this duty of care.

Having effective health and safety practices in the workplace will assist in identifying, eliminating or at the very least mitigating risk factors which can lead to injury, illness or disease.
An effective OHS Management System promotes consultation in the workplace and engages employees and other stakeholders in health and safety processes and issues. This leads to the proactive management of health and safety concerns.

An OHSMS can assist in reducing the number and severity of injuries and claims by systematically and effectively managing OHS risk in the workplace. The social and financial costs associated with injured employees will also be minimised through the prevention of injuries and illnesses.

Imagine Safety works with Principals and support staff on issues such as perceptions of how the management of OHS can be improved.

  • OHS policies and procedures should be provided that are ready for use and easily located;

  • OHS solutions are shared across workplaces to avoid ‘reinventing the wheel’ every time;

  • Procedures need to be easy to understand and implement as time is often limited; and

  • The Online OHS System utilises the DEECD OHSMS documentation which is designed to meet the needs of schools and DEECD workplaces and conform to the Australian Standard for OHS management Systems (AS/NZS 4801). The DEECD OHSMS consists of ten elements. The elements will be addressed during the initial implementation and ongoing maintenance of the School’s OHSMS.

Your Online School OHS Management System will include the following elements.

  1. Consultation and Communication

  2. OHS Policy and Planning

  3. OHS Risk Management

  4. Induction and OHS Training

  5. Contractor Management

  6. OHS Purchasing

  7. First Aid
