Responsibilities:

All managers, supervisors and other workplace leaders must demonstrate appropriate behaviours and take reasonable steps to ensure that inappropriate behaviours do not occur in the workplace(s) under their control

All workers are responsible for ensuring that they demonstrate appropriate behaviours and discourage inappropriate behaviour by refusing to participate in this behaviour, reporting any experiences of this behaviour and supporting co-workers in saying ‘no’ to this behaviour.

Managing inappropriate behaviour:

Tricon Drilling Solutions will identify all workplace factors that allow inappropriate behaviour to occur and eliminate these risks or reduce them to a level as low as is reasonably practicable.

All instances of bullying and inappropriate behaviour shall be reported, when observed and will be investigated by senior management, following the process in the Grievance and Disciplinary Procedure (TDS-PRO-025), or, where deemed appropriate, using the Incident Reporting and Investigation Procedure (TDS-PRO-003).

Reporting inappropriate behaviour:

In the first instance, inappropriate behaviour should be reported confidentially to any director, manager or leader, who will take immediate steps to control the behaviour and mitigate any further harm or damage.

The director, manager or leader, shall document the issue using either the associated Grievance Report Form TDS-F-051) or the Incident Investigation Report Form (TDS-F-003), as appropriate, and commence an investigation as soon as is reasonably practicable.

The outcome of the investigation, and actions arising from the investigation, must be reported confidentially to the subject of the bullying or inappropriate behaviour.

Wherever practicable, the confidentiality of persons involved in complaints of bullying or inappropriate behaviour should be protected.

Disciplinary action:

If anyone is found to breach this policy, management will take action appropriate to the behaviour reported or observed, following a full investigation. Action may include:

• A formal warning;
• Referral to counselling and/or formal bullying and harassment awareness training;
