1. Purpose
This procedure outlines the University’s approach to planning through setting of appropriate strategies,
targets and performance indicators aimed to achieve the objectives of the Health Safety & Injury
Management (HS&IM) Policy, the strategic direction of the University and to promote continuous

2. Definitions
Safety & Injury Management System is the part of the overall management system which includes
organisational structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures and resources for
developing, implementing, achieving, reviewing and maintaining the Health Safety & Injury
Management (HS&IM) Policy and so managing the risks associated with the business of the
organisation.
University Strategic Plans include the Safety & Wellbeing and the Injury Management strategic
plans that outline the University’s future direction, short and long term goals, objectives, strategies,
accountabilities and resources which provide the structural framework in which the University aims to
achieve to promote continuous improvement.
Local Action Plan (LAP) is a formal document cascading down from the Safety & Wellbeing
strategic plan. The plan outlines the health, safety and wellbeing activities of the local work area to
achieve set objectives and targets. It includes key elements for attention and/or review along with the
person who is responsible for action outcomes, the time frames intended for completion and key
performance measures.
Key Performance Measures are measures that demonstrate how effectively a process is operating
against the set objectives. These measures can be quantitative or qualitative and the choice is
dependent on the type of element they are used to measure, as appropriate to the University and/or
the local work area.
Continuous improvement is the process of enhancing the safety and injury management system to
achieve overall improvement performance, in line with the strategic plans and policy.
