Safety Management and Compliance at the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School

The Problem

The Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School needed to become compliant with state and Education Department legislative safety management requirements. Without a qualified health and safety staff member on site, urgent safety issues needed to be swiftly identified and addressed.

The Solution

Outsourced OHS
JTA Health, Safety + Noise Specialists were engaged to identify an effective safety strategy. One of JTA’s OHS consultants visited the site, reviewed all existing policies, procedures and safety systems and conducted an OHS compliance audit. This audit was thorough and exact, taking into account all relevant OHS related legislation. A gap analysis was prepared identifying what needed to be addressed to ensure VCA complied with all the relevant legislation.

How JTA Solved the Problem

• Recommendations were made based on the results of the audit.
• Protective policies, procedures and systems were either tweaked or introduced where necessary.
• To ensure peace of mind, the VCA Secondary School opted to hand over their OHS needs to JTA’s outsourced consulting team for regular reviews.
• JTA have become an extension of the VCA Secondary School’s internal management team, with on call availability and expertise over many OHS issues.
• With JTA’s in-depth and collaborative approach, we developed a thorough understanding of the issues affecting the VCA Secondary School so that safety could be pro-actively addressed.

• Reduced legal risk and protection of students and staff members
