Introduction
The American Red Cross Mission Statement
The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.
Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement
- Humanity – It is committed to people and their well being and dedicated to caring for those who suffer
- Impartiality – It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress.
- Neutrality – In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the movement may not take sides in hostilities to engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.
- Independence – The movement is independent. The national societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian service of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of the movement.
- Voluntary Service – It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.
- Unity – There can be only one Red Cross society in any one country, it must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory.
- Universality – The international Red Cross movement, in which all societies have equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide.

If your shirt becomes stained, faded or otherwise unprofessional looking you may “trade in” your shirt for a new shirt at no additional cost to you. The “old” shirt must be returned.

• Volunteer’s 12 month history in general as well as their history of working unpopular events and history of responding to last minute requests
Cancellations & Schedule Changes
In the event that you must cancel service please contact the ARC Response Specialist at least 24 hours before the event. Random cancellations leave the Team vulnerable to short staffing and inability to fulfill our mission.

Workplace Safety and Security
Volunteers are discouraged from bringing large amounts of cash or other personal valuables to work unless absolutely necessary. The Cornhusker Chapter is not responsible for volunteers’ personal items that are lost or stolen.
Some of the best safety improvement ideas come from volunteers. You are encouraged to speak with ARC Response Specialist about any ideas, concerns or suggestions for improved safety and security.
Volunteers should feel free to report, without fear of retaliation, any condition which they believe poses a safety, health or security. The Cornhusker Chapter will investigate such reports promptly and thoroughly and take appropriate corrective action.
Any comments or jokes regarding threats of violence will be taken seriously, and dealt with appropriately and promptly.
Each volunteer is expected to follow safety rules and to exercise caution in all volunteer activities. Volunteers must immediately report any unsafe condition to a venue or event Coordinator, or the ARC Response Specialist.
Volunteers who violate safety standards, who cause hazardous or dangerous situations, or who fail to report where appropriate, remedy such situations, may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including separation.
Injuries while volunteering
Volunteers are expected to follow appropriate safety guidelines while volunteering. However, even under the best circumstances, an accident may occur.
If a volunteer is injured, even slightly, the volunteer is expected to immediately stop the activity that caused the injury and seek first aid or medical attention if necessary. The volunteer must inform his or her supervisor about the incident. If the volunteer is unable to reach the supervisor, then the volunteer should contact ARC Staff by using the 24/7 on call staff pager 473-1364.

Use of American Red Cross Vehicles
From time to time, First Aid Team Members may be asked to use American Red Cross vehicles as part of their responsibilities. Volunteers who drive American Red Cross vehicles as part of their responsibilities are required to do so in a friendly, courteous and safe manner. In addition, use of American Red Cross vehicles is restricted to official Red Cross business.
It is the policy of the Cornhusker Chapter to make sure its drivers are qualified and legally authorized to safely operate motor vehicles used in the course of company business. Only those volunteers who meet the qualifications of the Cornhusker Chapter’s vehicle policy are allowed to operate the Chapter’s vehicles or operate a personal vehicle on behalf of the Chapter, as in providing carpool services to First Aid Team Events. Volunteers who operate the Chapter’s vehicles or operate a personal vehicle on behalf of the Chapter must have in their American Red Cross Cornhusker Chapter file a copy of valid proof of insurance.
Drivers are responsible for the safe operation of our vehicles. At no time are they permitted to subject a Cornhusker Chapter vehicle to abuse through careless or reckless operation. Drivers are required to notify the Cornhusker Chapter of license suspensions or revocations. Drivers are to report accidents or damage to our vehicles no matter how insignificant they appear within 24 hours. Drivers who fail to comply with these rules may face disciplinary action up to and including separation.
Seat belts must be used at all times, by both the driver and all occupants of the vehicles. Failure to properly use seat belts will also be cause for disciplinary action.
No volunteer, while operating a Cornhusker Chapter vehicle, or while driving his or her personal vehicle on behalf of the Chapter, may use a hand-held cellular telephone.
Smoking is prohibited in Red Cross vehicles.
No driver may operate a motor vehicle while the driver’s ability or alertness is so impaired, through fatigue, illness, taking medication or any other cause, as to make it unsafe for the driver to operate the vehicle. Volunteers who drive Red Cross vehicles while under such conditions, which could impair their driving ability, face disciplinary action up to and including separation.
