New Wellbeing and Safety section in Kāpehu

Wellbeing and Safety is about protecting the wellbeing and welfare of individuals.

It involves identifying and addressing potential hazards, risks and dangers that can cause harm to people’s health, safety and overall quality of life.

It is also about taking precautions to prevent accidents and injuries, maintaining a clean and hygienic environment (this includes at home) and adopting healthy habits and behaviours.

On campus it’s about creating a safe and healthy environment by assessing risks, providing necessary training and personal protective equipment (PPE), and ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

We’re all responsible for wellbeing and safety and our new section in Kāpehu gives you the resources and tools you need to play your part in this!

New Wellbeing and Safety section

Key features

• We’ll be adding news and blogs with important info so please take the time to familiarise yourself with this info.
• Reporting a hazard or incident – when you discover a hazard (something that can cause harm) or are involved in an incident, you need to report this to your lecturer or school administrator and then record this in our safety management system, k­nown as Vault. You can find out how to use Vault here and go straight to Vault to report a hazard or incident here. This is all included in the Wellbeing and Safety section. You can also get to Vault via the Tools section in Kāpehu - this is what it looks like.

• Induction and training – on this page you’ll find any compulsory and optional training you need to do. There is an annual induction which needs to be completed, as well as Harassment and Bullying course.
