Horticulture Interns EQUAL OPPORTUNITY The Royal Botanic Gardens Board Victoria has an Equal Opportunity Committee that meets on an ‘as needs’ basis, arranges equal opportunity training sessions, acts as Contact Officers for any equal opportunity issues and monitors compliance with the Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 2010. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (OHS) Implementation of the OHS Strategic Plan 2018–2020 continued, with the following key achievements: review of the OHS Policy and development of our first OHS Policy Statement, incorporating explicit input and direction from the Royal Botanic Gardens Board Victoria; review of a range of procedural documents and streamlining and digitising of forms; improved OHS data collection to facilitate periodic reporting and interrogation of OHS performance; increased focus on, and improved processes for, managing contractors; establishment of centralised hazard and incident reporting and management database; and review of injury management and reporting processes. Organisation-wide SunSmart training was conducted, along with mandatory hearing tests and a range of role-specific competency training. In 2019–20, the OHS Advisor role will be replaced with the role of OHS Business Partner, with a strengthened focus on support for managers and staff in the collective achievement of OHS goals and objectives.
