1 1 St Marks Occupational Health and Safety / Policy P-010 INTRODUCTION St Mark s recognises that the health and safety of its staff, volunteers and Parishioners is a priority and that if Incidents, Accidents, Near Miss or Hazards do occur, they should be reported. Incidents should be investigated to ensure that the possibility of recurrence or further risk is minimised. St Mark s understands the importance of incident reporting and investigation and has developed or will develop hazard inspection, hazard reporting and maintenance programs to minimise the workplace accidents or dangerous occurrences. This policy applies to all employees, volunteers, contractors and visitors under the control of St Mark s. PURPOSE This policy has been developed to ensure that all employees (including volunteers) understand the processes to be taken in the event of a dangerous occurrence or accident. St Mark s is committed to ensuring, as far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of the working environment for its staff, volunteers, contractors and visitors to its premises. This policy applies to: (a) All staff members; and (b) Contractors, volunteers and visitors to St Mark s premises, to the extent it is relevant to them. (c) Other members of St Marks DEFINITIONS Incident An unusual occurrence, particularly an error or accident that has or may have adverse consequences.

In the event of a dangerous occurrence or accident St Mark s must ensure the relevant state authority is notified and that a full investigation is undertaken to determine the root cause. The most appropriate corrective action will be taken to ensure the incident does not recur. Health & Safety St Mark s supports the rights of all persons covered by the policy to work in an environment that is, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risks to health. St Mark s is committed to the promotion of a joint and united approach to consultation and resolution of Work Health and Safety issues.
