Your health and safety matter to us.
AssistList is committed to providing a safe, healthy and respectful environment for everyone on our team, including volunteers and employees.
Because most of our work is done remotely, health and safety includes creating a workspace that is comfortable and safe, taking reasonable breaks, and speaking up when something doesn't feel right.
Your Responsibilities
Your Responsibilities
Everyone on the AssistList team is expected to:
Work in a safe and responsible manner
Follow AssistList's health and safety guidelines
Take reasonable steps to prevent injury to themselves and others
Report unsafe conditions, incidents, or concerns to their supervisor
Ask for help when they're unsure how to safely handle a situation
Follow applicable health and safety requirements when representing AssistList at events or in the community
You should never feel pressured to perform work that you believe is unsafe. If you're unsure, stop and speak with your supervisor before continuing.
If you have a safety concern, suggestion, or question, please reach out to your supervisor, or our People & Culture team.
Working from Home
Working from Home
If you work from home, take some time to make sure your workspace is set up comfortably and safely.
Small adjustments, such as positioning your monitor correctly, using a comfortable chair, and taking regular breaks, can help prevent strain and other injuries.
