Incident Reporting
 |
Incident reporting, incident investigation, and incident registers. It is all a simple process to help us track what accidents and mishaps happen and see if we can't stop them happening again. Incident reporting is in addition to any insurance liability reporting process. CLICK HERE to go to the Incident Reporting Process |
Asbestos Management
 |
The Methodist Church of New Zealand has a simple 3 stage asbestos management plan for everyone, and Stage 1 should be completed now if you haven't done yours already!
The aim of asbestos management planning is to ensure that we don't activate an asbestos risk; that we don't make asbestos dust that puts people at long term risk. |
Emergency Response Plans
 |
An emergency response plan is the "who does what" if something happens. Such as fire, earthquake, accident and so on. CLICK HERE to go to the 3 step process for your emergency response plan, and all the templates you need. |
