Report an incident

Hazard and incident reporting

Hazard and incident reporting is an essential component in the management of Workplace Health and Safety (WHS). The reporting of hazards and incidents assists with the achievement of a healthy and safe work environment by ensuring that all identified hazards can be brought to the attention of personnel who can eliminate or minimise any health and safety risks to an acceptable level.

The University uses SafetyNet to manage hazard and incident reporting.

First aid

Providing immediate and effective first aid to workers or others who have been injured or become ill at the workplace may reduce the severity of the injury or illness and promote quicker recovery. Trained first aider's, first aid equipment and facilities appropriate to the nature of the likely risks are required to be available in the workplace.

For more information about first aid, including guidelines and contacts, refer to the First Aid page.

In case of emergency

In the event of an emergency, it is important to remain calm. In the first instance it is important to contact UOW Security (at Wollongong and Innovation Campus) on their Emergency Contact number 4221 4900 ( Use the Emergency Procedures Guide for other campus emergency contacts) or use the Emergency button on the SafeZone App, or call UOW Security using a blue phone at an Emergency Call Point. This way UOW Security can liaise with the emergency services directly and in conjunction with the caller to optimise the effectiveness of the response. UOW Security will meet with the emergency services at their assigned meetup point at B72 Wollongong Campus and escort them directly to the affected area.
