I'm hoping someone can just give pointers just so I know I'm on the right track:

I need to know the roles and responsibilities of self, employer and colleagues in relation to the following:

- general health and safety
- moving and handling
- security of information
- accident reporting
- hazardous substances
- food hygiene

The second question is:

Explain how and when a care worker should report the following potential risks:

- A wheelchair with faulty brakes

- A spillage of urine in the bathroom

- An individual choked at dinner because the meat wasn't cut up for him

Thanks

Hello
Ask to see your workplace Health and Safety procedures, all workplaces have their own and you need to find out about your own.
For the second question just think whether you would do it straight away or wait until next shift, next week?

Thanks steadysue - I'm not employed at the moment, I think the question is relating to general (in social care) rather than specific job roles...

I did bullet points, for example:

General Health and Safety

The employer should:
- make the workplace safe and remove risk to health
- ensure equipment and machinery provided are safe
- set safe policies and procedures for work practice, and ensure these are followed
- carry out risk assessments

The employee and their colleagues should:
- be aware of policies and procedures
- take responsibility for themselves and their colleagues
- be aware of the health and safety policy
- report health and safety concerns


.........and so on with the others (obviously with different roles and respons.) I guess I was hoping for pointers to see if I was on the right track - what do you think?

I need help with couple qustion then finished manatory units.

Unit 208 task b

Biv - a description of the main points of health and safety policies and procedures

Bv - A list of work acitives that should only be carried out after special training.

Bvi - A description of how to access additional support and information in relation to health and safety

Biv - You can use what I have written in employers responsibility, this is correct but you simply need to expand. You can also check out HSE website which has a lot of useful info.

Bv - these would be:

admistering medication, emergency first aid, moving and handling and so on

Bvi - support and information about health and safety can be found from workplace policies and procedures, inductions and training and research (e.g. HSE website)....you could include also colleagues etc
