KEEPING YOURSELF AND OTHERS SAFE
Practice government guidelines on keeping
yourself and others safe.

There may be times when this is not possible,
you may be volunteering with vulnerable people
who need assistance.

Make sure you always wear your mask to protect
others, use provided hand gel to keep your
hands sanitised. If you can wash your hand make
sure you do. Mostly importantly use your
judgement.

Never put yourself at risk

If in doubt, get help from Health Centre Staff or
Co-ordinator
About PPE: You will be provided with PPE by the
Health Centre or where you are volunteering.

Please ensure that you wear it correctly covering your
nose and mouth at all times. Many people attending
vaccination appointments are vulnerable to catching
coronavirus – protect yourself and others

Make sure you are aware of fire procedures. This
should take place in your briefing session.

Fire procedures:
 How to evacuate if you are in a building
 Where meeting points are

Comfortable clothing:

 Ensure you wear suitable warm clothing and
footwear, you may be sitting or standing for
periods of time. You may be outside
depending on the venue.
