H & S Induction

Wednesday 16th February at 11.20am will be the first Health and Safety induction for new staff for 2021.

This is in two sections. The first is walk around the PJH building to think about the work environment when the need arises to evacuate the building and, secondly, Health and Safety for completely new staff.

Most staff participated in the refresher walk arounds last year but there may be people who missed out last year or would like another session  so please feel free to come along.

Ergonomics

Ergonomic issues are a risk for library staff but with good use of desks, computers, keyboards and mice, the risks are easy to mitigate. The UC online ergonomic assessment tool is a good guide to the basic requirements for being comfortable at your work station.

Earthquake

Monday February 22nd is the 10th Anniversary of our 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Wikipedia has a big page on the Christchurch Earthquakes and there are a lot of books in the library about the event.
