PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to create a safe and healthy club environment for our club members and visitors, and to do all we can to prevent accidents and illness in our club environment. This policy documents the Club’s commitment to meeting its obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.

DEFINITIONS
The terms ‘workers’, ‘volunteers’, ‘volunteer workers’, ‘PCBU’, and others used in this policy have particular meanings in the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. For a list of definitions, please CLICK HERE.
ENVIRONMENT
The Club has different physical environments which pose different hazards, and which are used by people with varying obligations for Eastern Suburbs AFC under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015:
A key principle of health and safety is that those who are best placed to manage hazards do so. The club wishes to ensure that the welfare of all members is prioritised. This will involve a diverse range of actions (such as coaches/managers prioritising the welfare of an injured player, or members who respect decisions of match officials at games). Auckland Football Federation is accountable for providing a safe playing environment for our players at their grounds. Any hazards or health and safety issues identified by Club members or supporters will be notified to Auckland Football Federation.
The rest of this policy focuses on Health and Safety as it relates to the Clubrooms located at Madills Farm, Kohimarama.
RISKS
We are all responsible for identifying potential risks in the Clubroom environment. A list of potential risks has been identified, and can be found in the Risk and Hazards Register.
All users of the Clubhouse are responsible for taking care of their own health and safety, as well as complying with all health and safety instructions

Firstly, ensure the injured person receives the required medical treatment. There is a first aid kit located in the cupboard in the kitchen.

All accidents or near misses must be reported to the committee. The committee will then inform WorkSafe New Zealand if the incident is a ‘Notifiable event’, and otherwise review the accident or near miss and take steps to mitigate any risks for future prevention purposes.
