I 2018 er det blitt gjennomført åtte risiko- og sårbarhetsanalyser ved fakultetet: Omdømme; Alenearbeid i risikofylt arbeidsmiljø; Risiko ved GMO-arbeid (genmodifiserte organismer); Oppfølging av stikk- og kuttskader; Helseforskningsloven; Risiko for brann ved Pleiestiftelsen; IGS, Risiko for vold og trusler ved IKO og Dyreavdelingen ved K1 – analyse på utvalgt område.

Fakultetet takker alle som har bidratt til grundige og gode analyser. Nå følges analysene opp i brev som oppsummerer hvilke tiltak som skal gjennomføres. Instituttledelsene har ansvaret for oppfølging.

I første omgang er det informasjon om ROS-analysene; «Brann, Pleiestiftelsen ved IGS» og «Vold og trusler ved IKO» og «Risiko ved GMO-arbeid» som sendes ut. Disse finner du her.

Minner om at alle ledere ved MED-fak skal ha lederkurs HMS-seksjonen tilbyr, se under for info. Er kurset tatt før 2013 skal en ta på nytt.

Arbeidsmiljøloven (§ 3-5) stiller krav om at arbeidsgiver skal gjennomgå opplæring i arbeidet med helse-, miljø- og sikkerhet (HMS). Hensikten er å gi arbeidsgiver nødvendig kunnskap om grunnprinsippene i systematisk HMS-arbeid og hvordan dette skal praktiseres i egen virksomhet. UiB har besluttet at alle ledere ved UiB skal gjennomføre obligatorisk internt HMS-kurs for ledere.

Kursene gir oversikt over lovgivning, ansvar og roller i det systematiske HMS-arbeidet, samtidig presenteres HMS-arbeidet ved universitetet der universitetsspesifikke utfordringer og policy belyses, og det gis oversikt over institusjonens regelverk, ressurser og verktøy i HMS-saker relatert til målgruppen.

Målgruppe: Instituttledere og administrative ledere på fakultet/avdeling, institutt og i sentraladministrasjonen.

Kursdager:

• Dag 1: Torsdag15. november, kl. 08.30-12.15: HMS-utfordringer og -policy ved UiB, Arbeidsmiljøloven
• Dag 2: Fredag 23. november, kl. 08.30-14.15: Systematisk HMS-arbeid.
  På bakgrunn av kursets faglige innhold og utvikling må Dag 1 gjennomføres før Dag 2.
• Sted: C.G. Sundts hus, møterom A/B, Muséplassen 1

It is easy to think that the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund is “only” involved in what you will live off when you become a pensioner. In reality, it is involved in much more. The Fund is involved in what you will live off if you are injured or become ill, and it is about providing security for your family.

UiB arrange an information meeting about this and related issues for international researchers and other foreign employees.

Time: 2 October at. 16:30–19:30.
Location: Student Centre or Christies gate 12 (depending on the number of participants).

More information and link to a registration form can be found here.
