Health, Hygiene, and COVID Safety

The recent coronavirus pandemic has taught us all the importance of health and hygiene in the workplace. While COVID-19 is still in our communities, the risks of transmission of all viruses presents an OH&S risk for our workplace, for you and your family. If you are unwell with any symptoms of COVID-19, or any other contagious illness (influenza, gastroenteritis, etc.), please stay home to reduce the spread of any virus. If you suspect that you may have contracted COVID-19, you will need to undertake either a RAT or PCR test to determine your COVID-19 status. If you test positive for COVID-19, government guidelines recommend that you isolate for at least 5 days or until you no longer have any symptoms. This means that you should not attend work during this time, unless you are well and able to undertake your work from home. Employees who are isolating due to a positive COVID-19 test should advise their manager of their test result as soon as possible. While you are unwell with any illness, employees will be able to access their Personal Leave entitlements. Access to Annual Leave entitlements may be considered if you have insufficient Personal Leave entitlements. You are able to return to work as long as you are experi4encing symptoms like a runny nose, sore throat, cough, shortness of breath, fever, chills or sweats. Regardless, once you return to work you may be required to wear a facemask for the first 5 working days, to ensure the health and safety of those that you are working with. At all times, the following infection Control Safety Practices should continue to be practiced:

Regularly wash and/or sanitise your hands.
Regularly clean all surfaces and equipmment.

Refrain from shaking hands with employees, customers & visitors

Keep a distance of 1.5 metres from others
Wear a mask, if not able to physically distance from others, or for the first 5 working days at work after having contracted COVID-19 or any other viral infection.

I understand the Health, Hygiene and COVID Safety requirements.

Workplace Bullying

Logifix Freight Solutions has a zero tolerance to workplace bullying. Under no circumstances will any form of bullying or harassment be tolerated.

Workplace bullying or workplace harassment is any ongoing harmful or threatening behaviour by a person or group of people in your workplace that creates a risk to your health and safety.

It can happen in any kind of workplace, and the person or group doesn’t need to be a manager or someone in a position of power over you.

Bullying in the workplace may lead to serious personal impact on individuals and is never acceptable.

Any forms of bullying will be investigated, and employees may face disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment if they are found to be engaging in bullying of others.

All employees have an obligation to report bullying if they witness it occurring in the workplace.

I understand the Workplace Bullying expectations and responsibilities.

Sexual Harassment and Sex Discrimination

Logifix Freight Solutions has a zero tolerance to any form of harassment and/or discrimination and makes every effort to provide a work environment that is free from all forms of sexual harassment and sex discrimination.
It is against the policies of Logifix Freight Solutions for any employee to make any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature towards any person in the company, be they employees, contractors or visitors
Sexual harassment is generally characterised by behaviour that is unwanted, sexual in nature and reasonably anticipated to offend, humiliate, demean or intimidate. It can be overt, covert or subtle. It can be repeated or a one-off incident. Sexual harassment can cause harm to the person it is directed at, as well as anyone who witnesses the behaviour.
It is also against the policies of Logifix Freight Solutions for any employee to discriminate against a person because of their sex, gender identity, intersex status, sexual orientation, marital or relationship status, family responsibilities, because they are pregnant or might become pregnant or because they are breastfeeding.
Sex discrimination in employment occurs when someone is treated less favourably than a person of another sex would be treated in the same or similar circumstances. It can occur when an employee holds assumptions about what sort of work a person is capable or not capable of performing based on their sex or sexual orientation.
Sexual harassment and sex discrimination in connection to employment may be considered serious misconduct and may lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
Logifix Freight Solutions recognises its positive duty to prevent sexual harassment or sex discrimination within its business and will take all reasonable and proportionate measures to eliminate any such behaviour from is workplace.
