Risk management
We provide forms, templates and guidance to help you complete your risk assessment at Griffith.
Risk management is a proactive, logical and systematic approach of managing the uncertainty relating to potential risk, rather than responding to injury, incident or damage. We manage these risks through the risk management process. Please note that while not all risks can be completely removed, these can be managed and mitigated or reduced to an acceptable level.

Off campus activities
Griffith strives to provide a healthy and safe work environment for all University staff, students and visitors whilst undertaking work or study. To this end, policies, procedures and guidelines have been developed to aid in ensuring a safe and healthy workplace, whether that workplace is on campus or off campus.
Off-campus activities are recognised as integral to study and teaching. These guidelines and forms provide information for ensuring off-campus work and study is undertaken as safely as possible.

Inspections
Inspections are a proactive way to evaluate activities and spaces to make sure they are safe. Workplaces should be inspected annually to ensure staff remain in a healthy environment. Various groups undertake these inspections.
Our inspection groups include:
- the Health, Safety and Wellbeing team - certified spaces (PC 3 laboratories, radiation areas)
- regulators, for example Work Health and Safety QLD, Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR), QLD Department of Agriculture
- Internal Audit
- elements and groups.
