In the Workplace

Our first priority is to ensure your continued safety and wellbeing. In line with this priority, we expect every one of you to actively work towards creating a safe workplace, and to minimise the risk of injury to yourself, your colleagues and members of the public.

Workplace Safety

You are required to work within all relevant statutory regulations, guidelines, industry codes of practice and the Occupational Health and Safety Act.  We ask that you are committed to improving the safety consciousness of those around you by:

  • Accepting safety as your responsibility.
  • Cooperating with others to assist in the improvement of safety practices and issues in the workplace.
  • Taking firm but polite action to resolve safety concerns which occur, when necessary firstly with the client Supervisor, then with your Recruitment Consultant.

Please refer to the Occupational Health and Safety information provided to you by your Recruitment Consultant prior to commencing an assignment with us. If you have not received this information, or if you have any questions please contact your Recruitment Consultant.

All our casuals and contractors (excluding proprietary limited, unit trusts, family trusts or partnerships) are covered for Workers Compensation insurance.

Things to consider in the Workplace


You play an enormous role in the delivery of quality service, and we therefore expect you to meet our basic standards of conduct in the workplace:
  • Ensure that you are working safely. If you have any concerns, address them through the appropriate channels.
  • Mobile phones should be turned off and messages checked only during your break. If in extenuating circumstances you need to have your mobile switched on, please discuss with your Supervisor.
  • Please observe the policy on personal e-mail, telephone and fax usage on client sites.
  • Complete all relevant documentation on time (ie. employment forms, timesheets etc.)

Bridge Consulting is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.  All employees have a right to be treated fairly and equitably in the workplace.  Employers have a statutory obligation to comply with state and federal legislation, and provide a work environment that is free from racial vilification, sexual harassment and discrimination. 

If you have any questions about our expectations of your conduct in the workplace, please contact your Recruitment Consultant.

Workplace Injuries

In the event that an accident occurs at work, please report it to us immediately. As your employer, we are responsible for issuing WorkCover forms and keeping records relating to any injuries that have occurred in the workplace.

If you are injured at work:

  • Have your injuries seen to by the workplace First Aid Officer immediately. If in the opinion of the First Aid Officer (or your own opinion) you require medical attention, then you should immediately arrange to a see a medical practitioner.
  • Advise your workplace Supervisor and your Recruitment Consultant of your injury, giving your name, address, the date and cause of the injury. Where possible, do this prior to leaving the workplace.
  • When visiting a medical practitioner, advise the staff to send the invoice to us, not the company you are working at.
  • If you seek medical attention you must complete a Workers Compensation Claim form, which is available from our office.
  • If you need time off work as a result of your injury, you must complete a Workers Compensation Claim form and supply our office with a WorkCover Certificate of Capacity from your medical practitioner. Please make sure you fill in both the front and back pages of the form.

All documentation must be completed in full, signed and received by our office before any WorkCover payments can be made.
