Training and instruction in the issue use and closure of the permits.
Monitoring and auditing to get ensure that the system works as intended.
Clear identification of types of work considered hazardous.

Isolation Isolation process is also known in industry as lockout or Tag out and is used to isolate machinery and equipment from the energy source. It is so important to ensure that isolation of any unsafe machinery or equipment from potential uncontrolled energy sources during repair service or maintenance
The reason for legislation is because the company has to have laws that are set out in their documentation that outlines what has to be done in a certain instance i.e. fire; if there was a fire in the workplace the company will provide the correct equipment. With anything electrical it has to pass the Portable Appliance Testing, this means that the application has passed and means it is safe to use. The policy is that supports legislation is put in place to make Charlie’ aware of the laws that have been set out by management. The procedure is that they know what to do when dealing with a

7 / D.P7: Explain how different procedures maintain health and safety in a selected health or social care setting Maintaining health and safety in health and social care is extremely important to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of all their service users as well as other individuals service providers may come in contact with in the setting. There are several procedures that help to maintain this health and safety however they can all vary between settings for example, health and safety procedures will be slightly different and more focused on certain areas in hospitals and especially in paediatric ward compared to in drop-in centres where the needs and risk to service users are slightly different. Some of the procedures used in health and social care to maintain health and safety include; infection control and prevention, safe moving and handling of equipment and individuals, food preparation and storage, storage and administration of medication and storage and disposal of hazardous substances.
Task 2 7 / C.P6: Compare the influence of different health and safety laws or policies on health and social care practice in a selected setting There are several different health and safety laws and policies that vary between settings in health and social care aimed towards different legislations that must be followed, and have resulted in improvements in health and social care practice. It is important that these legislations are followed by service providers in order for them to promote safe practice and to fully understand their responsibilities under these legislations. Some of the legislations include the Health and Safety at Work Act etc 1974, the Data Protection Act 1998, the Care Act 2014, the Care Standards Act 2000 and the Equality Act 2010.
As a service we have to comply with these regulations and by having regular meetings such as health and safety, infection control, checks being carried out such as fire compliance, having designated first aiders, file audits, medication audits, live staff observations and regular supervisions to not only provide support to staff and identify any training or support needs but also to highlight any areas that are of concern that could have a detrimental impact on our service
The first legislation I will discuss is ‘Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) regulations (2002)’ which is used to reduce the risk of injury whilst doing an activity. It can be used in any line of work, and you have to consider safety factors about it. When using personal protective equipment, they must check if it is suitable for use, if it offers the right protection for the user, or if it needs replacing, because if it needs replacing then it is not fit for purpose. The main areas where people use PPE is on the sports field or in a building site. For example a builder, as shown in the diagram below, is wearing a helmet to protect his head, goggles to prevent any dangerous objects getting in his eyes, gloves so his hands don’t get hurt when
Employers must make the workplace/premises safe, this includes keeping all materials and machinery stored safely and when used with caution.
Health and safety at work act 1947 The health and safety at work is the legislation, which covers the employees’ health and safety in the UK.

This policy and procedures is for Risk assessments and the fire policy/procedure. This promotes safety because care organisations have to make sure that they are able to provided a safe environment in a health and social care setting.
P1 Electrical workshop - Electrical apprenticeship workshop Here I will be explaining the relevant legislation and regulations applicable to an electrical apprenticeship workshop. Electricity at Work Regulations (EAWR) 1989 this is relevant to electrical apprenticeship workshop as the employer will have to give training/instructions to the apprentice about the electrical safety regulations also the employer will need to make sure that there will need to be electrical risk assessment. Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 this regulation is relevant to Electrical apprenticeship workshop as this is essential for all employers to provide the workers with PPE therefore in the electrical workshop the employer will need to provide the apprentice workers with PPE that is made to be worn in an electrical workshop.

Control of substances and Hazardous to Health Regulations 1992 These regulations inform practices that cleaning materials must to be kept in a locked cupboard. Also, these regulation state that disposable gloves and aprons must to be provided for cleaning and handing chemicals.
Create business flexibility The flexibility to adjust monitoring levels during a study if risks change, giving us the ability to adapt SDV review and frequency of onsite monitoring visits by supplementing oversight with centralised monitoring methods and remote monitoring visits. This activity is constantly changing during the trial and drives the business to flow. Monitors: Increase onsite working efficiency: During the on site visit, monitors can focus on addressing critical issues that cannot be resolved remotely. The centralised remote monitoring also save a lot of travel time and energy for the monitors, monitors can use bill their hours more efficiently to the projects since monitors no longer suffer from travel tiredness between visits.
