Important Information
Fire Emergency
It is important for you to know the following:

(1)Workplace evacuation procedure and assembly area.

(2)The location and correct use of fire extinguishers.

(3)Location of breathing apparatus (if required)

Should this information not be supplied at the host employer’s workplace through the induction/orientation process then ask your immediate supervisor or the OH&S representative.

Housekeeping

An untidy workplace is inefficient and can cause hazards and accidents.

Store all tools, equipment boxes and rubbish etc in the correct places to avoid tripping or striking hazards.

Keep all walkways and exit doors clear of obstacles.

Good housekeeping is important in all workplaces for your safety and for the safety of others.

A tidy workplace allows you to be more productive.

Smoking

Blue Stone promotes a smoke free work environment.

Smoking in the workplace is generally prohibited. Should you be caught smoking in a non-smoking area you may be dismissed from your host employer’s workplace.

Smoking is bad for your health. However, if the need arises use only the designated times and areas to do so.

Important Guidelines and Information

Please ensure you are on time for the start of your shift. It is important for you,
Blue Stone Medical and the company you are on assignment with, that you are a good timekeeper!

On the first day of any new assignment, please ensure you are 10-15 minutes early. This is in case you should you run into any difficulties on your journey, you are not too late. It also creates a good impression on you first day if you arrive with enough time for the Blue Stone Medical representative to show you the site and help prepare you for your shift.

Make sure you are wearing your uniform and appropriate footwear when you are working or on site.

If at any time you must leave a company for whatever reason, you must inform the supervisor of the site, and most importantly, you must telephone a Blue Stone Medical consultant. Remember! Do not just walk off a site without telling a representative of Blue Stone Medical.

Pay Rates and allowances will be explained to you when the Blue Stone Medical consultant is booking you into your job. If they don’t tell you, it is your responsibility to ask.

If you are going to be late for the start of your shift, please call the Blue Stone office and let them know. They will then tell the company you are working for. This stops people trying to find out where you are and stops people worrying unnecessarily.
