Workplace Hazards in Information Technology
This publication is based on safe@work published by © State of Victoria (Department of Education & Training) 2002 www.sofweb.vic.edu.au
This fact sheet is for school students undertaking workplacement programs, and for their host employers. It can
be used as a tool to assist with task planning, and to develop appropriate induction, training and supervision to
minimise any risk to students while they are ‘at work’.
Students must be given instruction, and must be supervised at all times. Consideration must always be given to
hazards when allocating tasks. If any risk exists, that cannot be appropriately managed, students must NOT
undertake the activity.
