Visual and Performing Arts – Safety

4. Monitoring, reviewing and reporting

The principal, or their delegate, must regularly review the controls implemented to ensure their effectiveness in managing the risk and incorporate any changes to controls in the school’s OHS risk register as per the OHS Risk Planning and Management policy. This must be done in consultation with the health and safety representative (HSR), where elected, and school staff.

School staff must report visual and performing arts hazards as early as possible to the principal or their delegate to ensure that work practices can be reviewed, and appropriate measures taken. Issues can be communicated via HSRs where they have been elected or directly to the principal or delegate.

Hazards, incidents and near misses involving visual and performing arts must be reported in eduSafe Plus (staff login required). eduSafe Plus can help with allocation of OHS tasks and management of hazards.

For more information on reporting hazards and incidents, refer to Managing and Reporting School Incidents (Including Emergencies).
