STUDENT RESPONSIBLITIES Every student has a responsibility to: • take an active role in planning and pursuing their studies; • be well informed about the requirements of the course that is being undertaken, to attend all set classes; • discuss with staff any problems that may be encountered; make the best possible use of the opportunities and facilities that the DRH provides; • submit work, which is wholly their own, on time; • respect the rights and welfare of DRH staff and students; • respect DRH property; • comply with the DRH rules and regulations; • dress in a professional manner and to maintain excellent personal hygiene; and • behave in a manner which reflects positively on the DRH.

Some pointers to making this living arrangement work well for all include the following: • Respect your cohabitants by keeping common areas clean and usable. • Respect others in regards to acceptable noise levels, and agreed-upon quiet times. • You may want to identify some shared commodities like laundry soap, milk, etc so you can buy in bulk, and not have 10 bottles of milk in the refrigerator. • Pitch in your fair share of contribution to any shared resources, for example you may want to have a schedule for who buys milk each week. • Pitch in for your fair share of cleaning duties. • It can be quite fun to have group meals periodically, with one or more people contributing to the preparation and clean up. You may want a schedule for who cooks and who cleans for group meals. • Don’t leave personal items in group space. • Remove laundry from machines promptly so others can use the machines. Living together well can be fun and you can make lifelong friendships. It can also ease the stresses of your demanding tertiary course and help you feel more at home in your new environment.

(All testing is undertaken by a University appointed electrician or competent person.)

Z 26 All new or additional electrical items brought into the residence during your stay must be declared to administration for testing and tagging, which is in accordance with University policy. What happens if my electrical items fail the test: the electrical tester will take any failed equipment to your local campus reception. Failed electrical items will not be returned to you whilst you remain a resident of the University’s accommodation facility unless they are repaired and pass testing.

The supervisor is required to acknowledge the incident report. If the incident risk rating is medium, high or very high, then the supervisor must ensure that a formal incident investigation is completed. This would normally be undertaken by an incident investigation team. INCIDENT INVESTIGATION TEAMS REQUIREMENTS AND ESPONSIBILITIES The Incident Investigation Team may include the following participants: • Local supervisor or manager (Team Leader) • Persons involved in the incident and witnesses • Health and Safety Representative (if reasonably practicable) • Local OHSE Practice Expert or local OHSE Coordinator The supervisor normally acts as the Team Leader. At least one team member should be trained in University of Melbourne Incident Investigation methodology. The incident investigation team establishes the facts of circumstances leading up to the incident, during the incident and after the incident, by gathering and considering information including identified hazards, the effectiveness of the existing risk assessments and risk controls. More detailed advice on what to investigate is available on https://policy.unimelb.edu.au/MPF1206. The Incident Investigation team must recommend corrective actions to eliminate or reduce the risk of reoccurrence of a similar incident so far as is reasonably practicable. The Incident Investigation Team Leader must provide a copy of the completed Incident Investigation (S4) Form to the local OHSE Committee and the local OHSE practice expert. The supervisor is responsible for ensuring that appropriate corrective actions are implemented or that the recommended corrective actions are escalated to a person responsible for implementation. The supervisor is required to ensure that when corrective actions are being implemented, the local personnel affected are consulted about the corrective actions. The supervisor is required to monitor progress of implementation of corrective actions and record when implementation of corrective actions is finalised.
