Crisis policy
EasyFreelance has several emergency procedures that may need to be considered in situations requiring crisis management and/or first aid.
Self-employed persons
Self-employed and off-site self-employed workers must check their own workplace safety, checking who is in charge at each workplace and what protective equipment is required and asking about how they use it. Self-employed people should also check what evacuation, first aid and crisis management procedures apply in a workplace.
Threats and violence
In the event of threats or violence against employees, the perpetrator must always report what has happened to the employer. Self-employed persons report this according to their own routine. Based on the circumstances, the safety committee decides whether and what measures need to be taken.
Crisis management group
In the event of workplace injuries or personal injuries of which the employer becomes aware, depending on the circumstances and if deemed appropriate, the crisis management team shall be convened to examine the consequences of this and how it affects both the victim, his colleagues and how the workload can be distributed. The employer encourages employees to report injuries to the employer's knowledge if it may affect the employee's work. Self-employed persons report injuries according to their own procedures. In this work, the crisis management team cooperates with the management team in general to find the best possible solutions for everyone involved.
Investigation of the circumstances of the individual case is required. In the event of an injury, it should be investigated how the employee concerned is feeling, what the employer can do to help the person concerned. Incidentally, routine is taken after work adaptation and rehabilitation when the person goes back to work. In the event of a fatality, the crisis management team and the management team must assess how this affects the well-being of other staff and how tasks are distributed in a good way.
Terrorist attack
In the event of a terrorist attack that occurs but does not directly affect employees, the immediate manager should check that all employees are well under the circumstances. In this context, keep in mind that such a situation can affect the well-being of employees, even if they are not directly affected. Either a close relative or an acquaintance may have been affected, which can negatively impact an employee's work performance.
The management team together with the safety committee is otherwise convened in all matters required to assess whether emergency measures need to be taken after the incident and how the business handles the situation in the best way so that it does not adversely affect the well-being of employees.
Obligation to document
Accidents that occur at the head office are documented by the respective manager of the employee concerned and accidents reported on self-employed workers are documented by the safety committee. This documentation is then reviewed by the management team together with the safety committee.
