Where you have access to confidential information you will not, without proper authority during the continuation of your volunteer work, or after its termination, disclose to other persons, organisations, or make use of for your own benefit, any confidential information relating to AFH.

Attention is drawn to the provisions of the Health and Safety in the Workplace Act.

You must be proactive in taking all reasonable practical steps to ensure the safety of yourself and others affected by your work and to co-operate fully with management in implementing the AFH Health and Safety Policy and Procedures.

AFH has a smoke-free work environment. It is a condition of this Agreement that this provision is accepted.

You accept that AFH property under your care must be safeguarded against any loss. You will ensure that all reasonable precautions are taken to protect it. Failure to do so will be considered serious misconduct.

You can raise matters with your manager.  If the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of either party, you can contact the Board of Trustees Chair.

This Agreement replaces all previous agreements whether expressed or implied.

The Trust will take all practicable steps to ensure a safe and healthy work environment.

The volunteer shall also take reasonable care of his/her own safety and not cause any harm to others when carrying out his/her own duties under this agreement.

 All equipment shall be left in a safe manner so as not to cause damage to either work, plant, machinery or other people.

It is strictly against the rules of this Trust to interfere with, or make inoperative, any safety equipment or guards. Any safety equipment provided by the Trust must be used. Any damage to, or loss of, safety equipment is to be reported to the Job Manager immediately.

Horseplay, or unauthorized or irresponsible use of fire protection or safety equipment may lead to dismissal. No smoking is permitted inside the Trust’s premises or vehicles.

(a)   accidents and/or work-related injuries
(b) irresponsible conduct endangering the safety of the employee or any other person
The volunteer shall notify the Trust within one working day of filing any work-related claim with the ACC or the appropriate ACC-related insurance company and provide the Trust with a copy of any relevant documents. The volunteer shall comply with the Health and Safety policies of the Trust.
Breaches of this clause will be regarded as the most serious and result in the contract being terminated immediately.

Harassement

The Trust considers harassment from volunteers in any form, whether racial, religious, sexual or any other harassment, as a breach of conduct which may result in cancelling of the contract. Any volunteer who considers he or she has been harassed for any reason is advised to contact their manager, or a friend who can approach a senior manager on your behalf.

 The Trust undertakes to promptly investigate any complaint, with due respect to the complainant’s wishes.
