Health & Safety

• Ann Stevenson is a key contact point for all Health and Safety matters.

• All hazards and all potential hazards should be recorded in the hazard register and reported to either Ann, Jen or Mike, our school caretaker so that appropriate action can be taken to eliminate, isolate or minimize such hazards

• All serious injuries to staff should be reported to the school office and recorded in the accident register

• All major injuries will be reported to Occupational Safety and Health

Every classroom has a pink folder that is kept in the left hand drawer of the teacher’s station.  This folder is to be brought out with you if there is an emergency or evacuation.  This folder must always be stored in the correct place and must be treated as a confidential piece of documentation as it contains student’s personal information and details of our lockdown procedure. 

• Employees are encouraged to monitor their own emotional health and wellbeing.

• Support is available through consultation with the Principal or a member of the leadership team and all employees of the school have access to EAP support - see Deborah or Jen for more information

All school policies are stored on our SchoolDocs site (stclair.schooldocs.co.nz) - username and password are both ‘stclair’.  See Jen if you need any assistance with policies or SchoolDocs.  It is expected that all staff are familiar with the following policies and procedures:

• Health, Safety and Welfare

• Child protection

• Employer Responsibility Policy

• Sexual Harrasment

• Equal Employment Opportunities

• Concerns and complaints

• Privacy

• Protected Disclosures

• Personal Property
