TRANSITIONAL RETURN TO WORK POLICY
The health and welfare of all our employees is a top priority of our organization.
Our return to work policy is to return an employee to employment at the
earliest possible date following an injury or illness. The Company defines
transitional work as temporary, modified work assignments within the employeeÊs
physical abilities, knowledge and skills. Where possible, transitional positions will
be made available to injured employees to minimize or eliminate time lost, and to
promote a smooth and timely transition from an injured state to a state of
wellness and regained ability to perform regular job duties.
FIRE PROCEDURES
You should become familiar with the community policy on fires and the location
of fire extinguishers and emergency exits, so that you will be prepared in the
event of a fire. Please acquaint yourself with the physical layout of the community.
Should you suspect or discover a fire, IMMEDIATELY TAKE THE APPROPRIATE
ACTION.
HOUSEKEEPING
By keeping your work area clean and neat, you show that you are proud of your
community and the work you do. To help keep your community clean, trash
cans have been located throughout the community. Please discard food
containers and wrappers in these cans. Separate cans are provided for
discarding smoking materials. It is everyone's responsibility to help keep the
community clean.
INFECTION CONTROL
To protect the health of our employees and residents, we adhere to a strict
policy of infection control. Employees are requested to report any observation of
possible infection or inappropriate infection control practices to their immediate
supervisor. Absences due to illness may be investigated as to the nature of the
illness and its relationship to infection control. Our first and foremost means to
preventing the spread of infection is cleanliness, good hand washing practices, and
good health habits. OSHA policies for Bloodborne Pathogens will be strictly
observed.
SECURITY
The protection of employees, residents, visitors, the community, and its contents is
everyone's responsibility. From time to time, you may be requested to properly
identify yourself and to make available for inspection any package(s) or other
containers carried by you when entering or leaving the community. Failure to
comply with such inspection may be considered as your unwillingness to cooperate
with community management, policy, and procedures.
