5.12 Employee Health and Safety
The health and safety of employees and others on Church property are of utmost concern. It is therefore the policy of the Church to strive constantly for the highest possible level of safety in all activities and operations. We strive to carry out our commitment of compliance with all appropriate health and safety standards applicable to our ministries and organization. We do so by enlisting the help of all employees to ensure that public areas and work areas are free of hazardous conditions.
The Church will make every effort to provide working conditions that are healthy and safe, and employees are expected to be equally conscientious about work-place safety, including proper work methods, reporting potential hazards, and lessening observed hazards. Unsafe conditions in any work area or public area that might result in an accident should be reported immediately to your supervisor. The church's safety policy and practices will be strictly enforced, including possible termination of employees found to be willfully negligent in the safe performance of their jobs.
The church expects its employees to conduct themselves in a safe manner. Use good judgment and common sense in matters of safety, observe any safety rules posted in various areas, and follow all OSHA and state safety regulations.
When an employee is injured in connection with employment, regardless of the severity of the injury, the employee must immediately notify the supervisor, unless emergency conditions exist, or notification is not practical. In such cases, it will then be the responsibility of the supervisor to seek necessary medical attention and complete required reports. In any case of serious injury, employees are to receive prompt and qualified medical attention followed by the filing of necessary reports. Should an injury prevent an employee from returning to work for more than two days, his or her supervisor will see that the Finance Office and the Worker's Compensation carrier notify the employee of employment benefits under that condition. If hospitalization is required by the injury, it is the employee's responsibility to notify the Group Health Plan carrier prior to or upon entrance into the hospital.
