SUSS Emergency Preparedness Programme aims to equip students with an understanding of the risk management process, and the skills and tools for risk mitigation when conducting any local and overseas field trips.

Students are required to read the SUSS Emergency Management System (EMS) Guide for Field Trips and complete/pass an online Risk Analysis and Management System (RAMS) quiz before embarking on any of the following SUSS Programmes:

• Experiential Teambuilding Programme (ETB)*
• Overseas Experiential Learning & Global Learning Programmes
• Overseas Summer School
• Local/ and Overseas Work Attachment
• Overseas Exchange Programmes
• Overseas Competitions or Challenges
• Any other overseas programmes endorsed or organized by SUSS

The online quiz is designed to:

• Raise student's awareness in the mitigating strategies to reduce risk

The EMS guide is a useful resource to help prepare for your field trips. A copy of the EMS guide can be downloaded here. Students who have yet to complete the online RAMS Quiz and require it for overseas travel or Work Attachment, please email to Student Life.

*The Online RAMS Quiz has been integrated as a learning objective with the Experiential Teambuilding Programme (ETB). All students who have attended and achieved a PASS on any ETB course would have PASSED the Online RAMS Quiz.

Advanced RAMS Workshop

The main objective of the Advanced RAMS Workshop is to raise students’ risk assessment skills to an advanced level. Through case studies review and scenario-based training, students will be able to practice risk assessment and heighten their senses for risk identification.

The workshop will cover the following areas:

This workshop runs twice a year and student leaders involved in leading and organising school activities will be invited to partake.

E-modules on Student Safety are accessible via Canvas to enhance students' awareness of critical topics such as risk identification and mitigation, understanding harassment laws, anti-drug and anti-vaping regulations, and emergency management systems (EMS). These modules are designed to promote personal safety and prevent harm.

For full-time students enrolled in bachelor programmes, completing these e-modules is a mandatory component of the Experiential Teambuilding (ETB) Programme. Additionally, the e-module on Navigating Harassment and Substance Abuse: A Guide for Student Safety is available to all part-time students, regardless of their programmes. Students from postgraduate studies, are strongly encouraged to complete these modules as well. By doing so, they can gain valuable knowledge and skills to navigate safety-related challenges, foster a safer campus environment, and contribute to their personal and professional development.
