Overview
The unit provides you the opportunity to undertake an authentic capstone project which draws upon learning from throughout the course. The knowledge acquired from key concepts in earlier units prompts students to consider how an organisation’s health and safety is managed and can be improved. The unit examines an organisation's readiness for change in the light of emerging models of work health and safety and considers the contribution of organisational safety maturity, organisational culture and safety climate, leadership and change management. You will apply data driven evidence based methodologies to measure organisational performance, improvement and effectiveness.

Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from SUTE Feedback
One student reported that they could not attend the lecture due to work commitments which lessened their overall experience, but they enjoyed the video replay of the lectures
Most Safety Science students work, and it is difficult to anticipate what times will work best for students when timetabling is done. It is therefore recommended to keep recording the lectures so that students who cannot attend can still benefit from the content.
