27. Hazard Identification Tool (HIT)
Purpose:
To provide feedback about chemical, radiation, biological and environmental hazards associated with your work and provide advice about any approvals and safety controls.
Before conducting research or teaching activities at Curtin, you must:
identify the hazards inherent in your work,
document your safety protocols in a written risk assessment, and
seek any approvals you need from Curtin or Government regulatory bodies.
The HIT for HDR students should be filled out as part of the candidacy approval process.
The HIT for Staff can be used by new staff when planning work, and by existing staff when changing or reviewing activities.

28. 19/04/2018
1. Access the HIT

29. 19/04/2018
2. Fill out the HIT
A short, simple checklist to help you identify the hazards that you want to work with.

30. 19/04/2018
3. Read the Feedback

31. 4. Act on the feedback Approvals, licences, permits, registrations
Risk Assessment
Include a copy of the HIT Feedback in your Candidacy.
