NZR COVID EMAIL

[tripple alliance 1,026]

Received an email stating LOVE RACINGS position on covid mandate , my query is what about club caretakers  track employees and gap workers , I am involved in another organisation who sent out advice on how to handle terminating staff who refuse to get the jab , it's not that clear cut , here's a copy of the steps that need to be taken before termination . 

When completing the risk assessment, you: must complete it with employees and their representatives you may like to get a health and safety professional to provide advice for your specific circumstances.
We have developed some questions to help you complete the risk assessment. There are likely to be other questions specific to your work that you should also ask.  Discuss these questions with your employees. Think about what the work tasks look like for a typical day or week. Identify the risk rating indicated alongside each risk factor. 

Consider these risk factors
How many people does the employee carrying out that work come into contact with? (very few = lower risk; many = higher risk)
How easy will it be to identify the people who the employee comes into contact with? (easy to identify, such as co-workers = lower risk; difficult to identify, such as unknown members of public = higher risk)
How close is the employee carrying out the tasks in proximity to other people? (2 metres or more in an outdoor space = lower risk; close physical contact in an indoor environment = higher risk)
How long does the work require the employee to be in that proximity to other people? (brief contact = lower risk; lengthy contact = higher risk)
Does the work involve regular interaction with people considered at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19, such as people with underlying health conditions? (little to none = lower risk; whole time = higher risk)
What is the risk of COVID-19 infection and transmission in the work environment when compared to the risk outside work? (equal to outside work = lower risk; higher than outside work = higher risk)
Will the work continue to involve regular interaction with unknown people if the region is at a higher alert level? (no = lower risk; yes = higher risk).
Record your results
Consider other controls. Identify any further infectious disease controls you and your employees could put in place to reduce the risk. The Ministry of Health has detailed information about how to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at work.
Assess the results of your risk factor discussion and the impact of any extra controls you will implement.
If your risk ratings tend toward higher risk and you are not able to reduce that risk by implementing more controls, you and your employees should consider whether the work should be performed by a vaccinated employee.

If your risk assessment is clear that the risk of COVID-19 infection and transmission through a particular work task is no higher than outside work, you may decide not to require the role to be performed by a vaccinated employee

There you have it ex work safe , the bottom line seems to be anyone (caretakers) who works outside mostly distanced from others are almost zero risk and a gap controller who sits in a cabin and observes the days activities must also be deemed safe therefore un sackable .

Thought's anyone ?
