1. Purpose

Everyone at Ridgeline has the right to work and live in the camp free from harassment, discrimination and bullying. Remote sites and shared camps make this more important, not less.

2. What is covered

BehaviourExamples
Sexual harassmentUnwelcome comments, touching, jokes, images, messages or pressure for dates or favours
DiscriminationTreating someone worse because of gender, race, age, religion, disability, family status, sexual orientation or other protected traits
BullyingRepeated unreasonable behaviour: humiliation, exclusion, shouting, setting up to fail
VictimisationRetaliating against someone who raised or supported a complaint

3. Our commitments

  • Every complaint is taken seriously and handled in confidence.
  • Anyone can report to HR without going through their supervisor.
  • We will not tolerate retaliation.
  • We provide safe, private camp arrangements and a rapid separation of people while a matter is investigated.

4. How to report

  1. Tell Employee Relations (ext 250), any HR team member or the confidential Integrity Line (0800 000 0456).
  2. A trained contact officer will listen and explain your options: informal resolution or a formal complaint.
  3. Formal complaints are investigated by someone independent of the people involved, normally within 21 days.
  4. You are kept informed of progress and the outcome.

Not sure if it counts? Talk to us anyway. It is better to ask early than to carry it alone.
