Welcome

Welcome to the NSSE Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) webpage.

The NSSE WHS committee was set up to promote good safety practices among our staff and students, as well as to provide the training to ensure preparedness in emergency situations.

We are working closely with the NTU Office of Health and Safety (OHS), integrating the University’s safety polices and standard operating procedures, to provide all staff and student a healthy and safe environment to work in.

As workplace health and safety is everyone’s responsibility, all staff and students’ co-operation and commitment play a major role in the successful implementation of health and safety protocols.
