We look forward to building a long, healthy relationship with you.

Starting work

Before you commence any assignment You must provide us with your;

• Bank Account details.
• IRD number and Tax code.
• Kiwisaver information.
• Appropriate identification and a copy of a work visa if required.

We will provide you with;

• An Individual Employment Agreement(IEA) & Health & Safety Declaration

• Details of the assignment (location/report to person).
• A written Job Description for each assignment will be hand delivered or emailed.

Drugs & Alcohol

To maintain safe work place practices you may be required to undergo drug and alcohol testing.

Your consultant will outline individual client requirements which may include, but are not limited to;

• Pre-employment screening.
• Post incident testing.
• Random site tests.
• Reasonable cause tests

Failure to comply may bring your assignment to an early completion. Please refer to our Drug & Alcohol Policy for more information. This can be requested at any time.

The NZ Health & Safety Law states

• You must take all practical steps to ensure you stay safe at work.
• You must wear the protective clothing and equipment that is deemed suitable for each task.
• You must ensure at all times that no action or inaction leads to your harm or to the harm of anyone else.

Health & Safety

• Safety in the workplace is nothing new – it does not exclude you or our clients.
• It is the responsibility of every individual to be actively engaged and toidentify and control workplace hazards.
• Our primary concern is that you return home safely every day.
• Don’t make this job the one that loses your finger or crushes your foot.
• Make all decisions carefully, the wrong decision could negatively impactyour life forever.
• Be focused and know your limitations and experience.

You are within your rights to refuse any job if you feel unsafe or you think someone could get hurt.

Incident and Accident reporting

• As your employer Advanced Personnel requires that you report all incidents and accidents.
• A verbal report is required at the time of the event (text messages are not acceptable).
• You must provide a written report within 24 hours of the event.

We are not looking to apportion blame – we are looking to prevent the incident

turning into an accident, and the accident being repeated.

• Your consultant is there to assist you through this process.

Don’t forget to report all forms of body pain or discomfort. Whilst it may initially seem minor, this could deteriorate into something worse several days or weeks after the event (such as muscle strain or infection).

Health & Safety

We understand that being a temporary staff member is not easy. Often you feel of lesser importance than other staff. This is not the case. You have the same rights as everyone else.

Your consultant is there to assist. Communication is key – let us know if you are being;

• Harassed.
• Abused.
• Asked to do things that you are not trained to do.
• Not getting statutory breaks.
• Tell us if your job has changed and is different from your original Job Description.
• Tell us if your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is worn out or is damaged.
• Holding a licence or qualification, does not mean that you are competent.
• It is mandatory for the client to give you a full briefing on the operation of plant.
• Pre-start checks and other operations (e.g. power take-off shafts) could cause damage if the checks are not done correctly.
• If you operate plant without the correct licence, you may be held personally liable in the event you cause damage to the plant or any other property.

Always ask for help where needed.
There are NO poor questions. THERE ARE ONLY POOR ASSUMPTIONS.
