Title
"On Implementing and Managing a Departmental HSE System","Creativity Hall (Room No. 118)
Abstract: Implementation of a system for Health Safety and Environmental (HSE) Disposal is in the interest of the well-being and safety of the Departmental community. A consolidated HSE document for the Department is now available at: http://www.che.iitb.ac.in/online/node/2473 The document purports to be a guide to the desirable practices relating to the protection of personnel health safety and environment (HSE) which may be adopted and adhered to in connection with all laboratory-based activities. The objective of this document is to provide all relevant information on hazards safety and environmental disposal practices to the students technical staff and other concerned personnel. It is expected that this will help eliminate or minimize hazards that may be encountered during laboratory activities. Implementing and managing an HSE system requires active participation from the student community and all laboratory technical personnel as well as a supervisory role from all faculty. To maintain the effectiveness of such a system periodic updating of all relevant information is necessary and this need be coupled with audits to ensure compliance with the expected safe practices. The seminar will briefly review the contents of the HSE system and the mode of its deployment. It will also highlight the expected roles and responsibilities of the Departmental community and the nature of the audit process that may be adopted.
