The University is committed to ensuring a safe working environment is both maintained and respected by all.

The Contractor Induction Handbook outlines the requirements for contractors undertaking works (construction, maintenance, etc) for or on behalf of the University.

Contractors are required to read the handbook and complete the testing requirements before working on any of our campuses.

  • your immediate removal from the site
  • your company’s removal from the University site
  • your company’s removal of the University’s Contractors List
