    Health and Safety

    The following information is required to ensure that the Chris Ruth Centre Trust meets it’s obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, and the Accident Compensation Act 2001.

    ACC pre-employment check reports

    The Chris Ruth Centre Trust can request an ACC pre-employment check using MyACC (a self service online platform), if it is directly relevant to the role’s physical requirements and only with the applicant’s explicit consent.

    This check is directly linked to evaluating if an applicant can complete the job safely without worsening an existing injury. It is used for the physically demanding roles (e.g. Vocational Support Person, Team or Executive Leader).

    1. Data included in the report details accidental injury claims, the date of the incident, brief injury descriptions, and whether time off work was taken.
    2. Data excluded in the report by default, it completely omits sensitive claims, mental injuries resulting from physical trauma, declined claims, wilfully self-inflicted injuries, treatment injuries, or any incidents older than 10 years.
    3. The Chris Ruth Centre Trust cannot use health or injury history to discriminate unlawfully against a candidate unless a specific health condition stops an applicant from executing the role safely.

      4. Alternatively the Chris Ruth Centre Trust can ask the applicant to request a report direct from ACC and pass it to the Chris Ruth Centre Trust.
