The minutes for the recent Health and Safety Service Group 2 meeting are now available on the H&S Minutes page H&S website

Items of interest:

Traffic management can be difficult on Campus at times dues to the construction work ongoing and about to begin. This brings issues of keeping students and construction work separate, which is not easy at times as we all share the same access routes onto campus.

In a previous counterculture post Jenny asked that we all keep an eye out for skateboard incidents: http://library.canterbury.ac.nz/blogs/counterculture.php?itemid=17847

A new H&S advisor has begun work to cope with the construction jobs that will come online later this year.

There will be elections for Health and Safety reps coming up in July and August. Elections are important as the University runs an employee participation H&S structure allowing direct staff input into Health and Safety issues. The role is not onerous and training is available. If you have any questions please let me know.

Entries for the H&S wellness awards are due on 27th of June.
