It might seem odd at first, but your home is considered a workplace for Chorus staff and volunteers. That means you have a responsibility to make sure Chorus staff and volunteers work in a healthy and safe environment when they are in your home. This is because it is our duty of care to provide staff and volunteers with a safe workplace. Things you can do include:
- Notifying Chorus staff or volunteers of any unsafe conditions in your home
- Participating in safety assessments of your home
- Ensuring your pets are controlled during a Chorus service
- Providing a smoke-free environment while we work with you
- Providing a workplace free of racial, sexual, physical or emotional abuse for Chorus staff and volunteers
- Treating Chorus staff and volunteers with dignity and respect
- Telling Chorus staff and volunteers if you are unwell or cannot do things the way you usually do them
- Providing safe cleaning products and cleaning equipment that are suitable and well maintained.
We will conduct safety assessments during our services and discuss any risks with you. Any safety concerns will be reviewed with you on an ongoing basis, as required by work health and safety legislation.
