Frequently asked questions

Does a small nonprofit really need a health and safety policy?+

Yes. Any organization that hosts staff, volunteers, participants, or visitors has a general duty to provide a safe environment. A written policy sets expectations, supports training, and helps demonstrate due care to insurers and funders.

What is a near-miss and why report it?+

A near-miss is an event that could have caused injury but did not. Reporting near-misses lets the organization fix a hazard before someone is actually hurt, which is why this policy asks that they be reported alongside injuries.

Who pays for protective equipment?+

The organization provides required personal protective equipment at no cost to the worker. Workers are responsible for wearing it for the task and reporting damaged or missing equipment.
