OHS students investigate 'chilling' accident  

Published on 17 August, 2011 

CQUniversity students were confronted with a mock accident to investigate during their recent residential school at Rockhampton Campus.

The scenario involved an injured worker found prone outside a large 'chiller' air-conditioning unit. Students checked factors which caused the 'accident' and recommended corrective actions to prevent future accidents of this type.

This exercise provided a hint of what is to come at CQUniversity, as students can consider enrolling in Accident Investigation degree programs, due to be offered by CQUniversity from next year onwards.

The new teaching and research programs will complement the safety science, OHS and human factors programs already offered by CQUniversity.
