General & Specialist Inductions


Overview

Induction Levels

Welcome to the HCISS Inductions, these inductions adhere to the Work Health & Safety (WHS) policy for the School of Humanities, Creative Industries and Social Sciences (HCISS), allowing safe working environments and documentation of permissions across the facilities.

The inductions enable access to resources and specialist facilities and are required as part of coursework and research activities.

The inductions are for undergraduate and postgraduate students, academic and technical staff, visiting researchers, and community members. Access to resources and facilities will not be approved until you complete the required inductions.

Inductions are to be refreshed yearly to allow policies and area information to be continuously updated and remain relevant.

Types of inductions may include:

  • Online presentations or video instruction followed by online quiz
  • Onsite demonstration of specialist facilities followed by online quiz

Successful completion of each required induction (100% Pass) is required to gain access.

The General Induction must be successfully completed by all staff and students within the School of Creative Industries once per calendar year. This induction covers WHS, general information, technical support and University operations.

Requesting a Specialist Induction

Access to specialist equipment or spaces outside of normal class requirements may be required for research, particular assignments or work-integrated learning outcomes.

For equity purposes, the primary users of bookings are classes, however, if there is available time outside class usage needs, specialist equipment and spaces may be booked upon completion of the associated specialist induction.

Level 3 Staff Inductions

If staff & research students become frequent users of particular level 3 equipment, it is often in their best interest to be inducted into the full individual operation of the equipment.

Level 3 Staff Inductions involve a series of conversation-provoking questions surrounding the safe operation of the machine, general workflow, troubleshooting, and emergency procedures.

They also involve a WHS and workflow competency demonstration, to be signed off by the area officer of the required equipment.

Please discuss with the technical staff if you believe you are likely to become or are already a frequent user of certain equipment and require a Level 3 Staff Induction.
