Health & Safety

Accidents and First Aid

Any injury requiring treatment should be dealt with by a trained first-aider within the venue where you are delivering a session. Please check this on arrival at your venue. If no first aider is available in your area, please report to your Line Manager and exercise common sense as to whether or not the injury requires hospital treatment. If so, please call 111 to speak to NHS 24 for advice from a qualified medical professional. If the injury is life threatening, you should immediately call 999.

Reporting Accidents and Incidents

You should report any accident or incident, however minor, on the Accident and Incident Reporting Form in the Backstage area of our website. In the event of a serious or notifiable accident or dangerous occurrence, it is essential that your line manager is located and advised as soon as possible, in order that suitable action is taken.

Fire Procedures

Rules concerning fire evacuation are posted near fire equipment throughout the HQ building.

Hygiene

Any exposed cut or burn must be covered with a first aid dressing. If you are suffering from an infectious or contagious disease or illness such as swine flu, rubella or hepatitis, you must not report for work without clearance from your own doctor. If you have any symptoms of Covid-19, you must self-isolate for 14 days, order a test, and not attend the workplace.

Alcohol/Drug Abuse Policy

The consumption of alcohol, non-prescribed drugs, and/or intoxicating substances during the working day or during any rest breaks, on or off our Company premises, is strictly prohibited.

Alcohol may be consumed during work social events, but any alcohol consumption should be moderate. You must not drive after consuming alcohol. We expect our employees to take responsibility for themselves and others and make suitable arrangements to get home safely.

If there is any suspicion that your performance or ability to properly and safely carry out your duties may be in any way impaired during your working hours, or should we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or in possession of alcohol or drugs, when you attend work, then you may be sent home and an investigation will take place. If appropriate, disciplinary action may be taken.
