Hazard Identification
A hazard is something that has the potential to cause injury. It may be associated with your Host Employer’s site location, equipment, environment and/or work practice. We ask that you work with your Host Employer and E4 People to identify and control any hazards.
Should an E4 worker identify a hazard, they must immediately notify their Host Employer and E4 People as soon as possible.
Risk Assessment
When a hazard has been identified, a risk assessment will be completed by the Host Employer in consultation with the E4 worker.
We ask that if there is an immediate risk of injury or illness, the E4 worker must take immediate action to ensure their own safety. We also ask that the E4 worker immediately contacts E4 People to advise them of the situation.
Following the completion of the risk assessment, E4 People and the Host Employer will try to eliminate the hazard altogether, or seek alternative arrangements to control the risk.
Injury
In the event that a work incident or injury occurs, E4 People and the Host Employer must immediately be notified.
The Host Employer or delegate will ensure:
• To aid the injured E4 worker in the most practicable way, once the injury has occurred
• To contact emergency services if the injury is serious or life threatening
• To contact E4 People and advise them of the injury
E4 People will contact the E4 worker’s emergency contact and advise them of the incident and/or injury. The E4 worker must complete the Incident, Hazard and Risk Form within 24 hours of the injury.
