This website will be updated on a regular basis to ensure that critical information is available for our staff and students in a timely manner.
One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.
Any person who works in South Western Sydney Clinical School must be inducted into the school, and laboratory where relevant, by their supervisor or delegate and complete health and safety training relevant to the type of work they will be doing.
If you identify a hazard that can be fixed easily, take action immediately (e.g. pick up a trip hazard/clean up a spill). Other hazards may take more planning and consultation to resolve. If there is immediate or significant danger to people, move people to a safer area and notify the relevant supervisor.
