Safety & Security Policy

Purpose

The Safety & Security Policy details how the GI-TOC achieves its duty of care obligations. It applies to all those who work on the GI-TOC’s behalf, regardless of their location.

Duty of Care

The GI-TOC takes the safety, security and well-being of those working on its behalf very seriously and fully accepts its duty to provide a reasonable standard of care to them and to take reasonable steps to mitigate foreseeable harm.

The GI-TOC has different duty of care obligations to different categories of people (‘duty bearers’) who work on its behalf based on the nature of the relationship with them, as detailed below in the duty of care obligations section. The following graphic illustrates the spectrum of the GI-TOC’s duty of care obligations for these different duty bearers.

The security of those working on the GI-TOC’s behalf shall remain a higher priority than the protection of material assets, the preservation of programmes, the expression of advocacy objectives or the protection of GI-TOC’s reputation.

The GI-TOC’s duty of care is exercised through the application of the safety and security policy and other management policies and procedures. The system developed to manage duty of care include, but are not limited to, informing team members about work-related risks, preparing team members to manage and treat risks, managing risks effectively according to the policy, managing limited incidents and critical incidents when they occur, and seeking to ensure ongoing, post-incident care and is available to team members.

Non-compliance

Any deliberate breach of this policy or any other element of the safety security risk management framework is considered a disciplinary matter and may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of contract, in a manner that follows the GI-TOC’s disciplinary procedures and the required legal framework. However, the GI-TOC will also take a discussion-first approach so that there is a suitable space to assess the appropriateness of security measures and identify improvements to this framework and any standard operating procedures.
