Health and safety
As a GP, you need to care for your own health and hauora to ensure you can care for your communities.
While the College and your practice have a shared duty of care to provide you with a safe environment, health and safety is everyone’s responsibility, and we all contribute.
- Your practice will give you a H&S site induction when you start. Familiarise yourself with the health and safety processes and procedures at your practice, or any location you are working in.
- It is a requirement of your employment to either download the Safe 365 app on your mobile phone or register your account using the Safe365 online web portal. Please report any near misses, accidents or incidents and hazards to the College via Safe365, and to your practice via their internal process.
- Keep a personal emergency kit at work in case of natural disaster.
- Check out the H&S modules on Te Ara (login required).
- Check out our Member Wellbeing resources.
