What OHS issues do clubs need to take into account when planning an event?
According to University policy, any events need to have a designated event manager. The event manager ensures that if there are any issues, they are able to action these ASAP . Where alcohol is available it is particularly important that this is managed and overseen by someone responsible. A committee member will need to take on the role of event manager, and will need to ensure that the event complies with university procedure in relation to OHS issues, ie: no alcohol can be served at any student run event without the server holding a RSA certificate. Another common OHS issue with student events is the clean-up which needs to be managed. For large evening events, cleaners can be booked for a fee.
When planning events, student clubs will need to complete both the Alcohol Management & Safety Checklist and a Risk Assessment Form with copies of RSA s and forward to UMSU at least two weeks prior to the event. You should also keep copies of these documents for your club’s records.
