These risk assessments provide a high-level framework to support consistent hazard identification, risk assessment, and control across University activities. They are intended to provide users with an overview of common hazards, risk scenarios, and indicative controls associated with particular tasks, environments, or work activities. The controls referenced are indicative only and must be selected, implemented, and reviewed through task-specific risk assessment, in accordance with applicable University WHS procedures.

This Hazard categories and controls list provides a high-level framework to support consistent hazard identification across University activities.

This framework is intended to be applied broadly to all hazards arising from University activities. The controls referenced are indicative only and must be selected, implemented, and verified through task-specific risk assessment, in accordance with applicable University WHYS procedures.

These field guides provide a high-level summary of Southern Cross University’s High-Risk Procedures (HRPs) and are intended to support consistent understanding of key hazards, controls, and safety requirements across University activities. The guidance is indicative only and does not replace the relevant HRP, local procedures, or task-specific risk assessment. Controls must be selected, implemented, and verified in accordance with applicable University WHS procedures.
