Training campus workplace health and safety plans

Safety is paramount at all Queensland Government-owned training facilities. Thank you for your assistance in providing a safe workplace.

TAFE Queensland campuses

Workplace health and safety (WHS) management plans (WHS MP) are available for each TAFE Queensland campus. The Department of Trade, Employment and Training (DTET) updates these plans regularly to ensure they remain current.

Before commencing work at any TAFE Queensland site, contractors and their workers must review the current WHS MPs and consider how this information applies to their own safe systems of work.

WHS MPs consist of 2 parts:

• Part 1 General
  • Applicable to all campuses.
  • Contains general WHS material and information regarding common hazards known to DTET.
• Part 2 Campus-specific
  • Contains emergency contact details, campus layout and access requirements, information about known hazards at the campus, and emergency evacuation details.

The WHS MPs are below, and also available onsite from the TAFE Queensland campus facilities representative. Contractors and workers should consult the facilities representative, or email trainingassets@desbt.qld.gov.au, if they require further campus-specific WHS information.

Non-TAFE Queensland sites

A number of Queensland Government-owned training sites are not occupied by TAFE Queensland—Maryborough, Maroochydore and North Lakes. WHS MPs are also available for these sites below. Email trainingassets@desbt.qld.gov.au for further information.
