Unit 4 Health And Social Care Level 3 Reflective Journal Analysis

This is another situation where the community was mainly people of color or people of low SES, but environmental precautions were not being carried out. Another environment with policies that affect health is the work

HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE TASK 1.1: A few acts that would be applicable to an Engineering company that performs Sheet Metal Work and Fabrication and Welding could be: - Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 - Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 - Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 This Act was made to secure the health, safety and welfare of people at work. It was also made to protect people other than people at work against the risk to health or safety from or in connection to what people do at work. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 was also used to control the use of explosive or flammable or otherwise dangerous substances and prevent having or acquiring

[A HEAD] Health and safety legislation 1 [DF] The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is known as an “umbrella act”. [PIC REF ATP.13] Whatever sort of business you are, there is always the possibility of an accident or damage to someone's health. All work exposes people to hazards, be they: loads which have to be manually handled; dangerous machinery; toxic substances; electricity; working with display screen equipment or even psychological hazards such as stress. Attention to health and safety is not just about being socially responsible.

Reflect on your Pre-Practicum/Service-Learning Journal; compare and contrast how your beliefs, assumptions, and attitudes regarding community service and/or volunteerism have evolved.

Many people are supported in their homes by people who work along side the health and social care service such as social workers,nursers ,doctor and care givers or they may get support from their family members and friends. An elderly person may choose to stay in their own homes instead of a residential care home while seeking help and support from others,however this can lead to potential opportunities for abuse happening to the person who Is being looked after. When an individual is getting support at home by a carer, the individual being cared for is vulnerable and defenseless and therefor this makes them a target for abuse,another example is abuse by strangers,when an elderly person lives alone they are at risk of people calling at the door and then gaining access to their homes,they may steal items from them or mistreat them or cause intimidation.

Under work health and safety laws workers and other people at our workplace must take reasonable care that they do not adversely affect

Such laws includes the Health And Safety At Work Act 1974, The Management Of Health And Safety At Work Regulations 1999 and The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992. These acts require risk assessments to be carried out, emergency procedures to be put in place, staff to be aware of how to lift heavy equipment correctly and prevent the spread of infection through the use of protective clothing. Implementing health and safety means looking after practitioners as well as the children present; The Workplace Regulations 1992 ensures that staff are aware of the number of breaks they are entitled to, the level of lighting required, toilet arrangements and the provision of water. The Health And Safety Regulations 1981, Regulatory Reform Order 2005, COSHH and RIDDOR explain how all incidents involving health and safety must be recorded, that a first aid box must be provided with trained staff available, hazardous products must be managed in ways that keep children safe and that early years practitioners should be assigned to carry out certain risk assessments of specific sections of health and safety regulations. The Food Handling Regulations 2006 and The Food Hygiene Regulations 2006 expresses how the setting should care for the kitchen and ways to prevent contamination as well as clarifying that food preparation areas must be kept clean, food must be

A work environment requires more consideration for those around you and how your actions impact their health and wellbeing. It is astonishing to realise how quickly germs can spread through basic hygiene neglect. Poor hygiene can contribute towards many health-related problems. We have already explored how infection control can reduce these risks but it is always worth reminding yourself of these.

Occupational Health is an area of medicine which concentrates on work-related illness, the effects of work on health and the effects of health on work. Occupational Health seeks to promote positive health whilst working and, in many cases, whilst studying and undergoing work placements. Occupational Health is important as the provision ensures that staff and students undergo appropriate assessments and examinations to ensure that they are not risking their own health, nor the health of their 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

Many different processes produce air contaminants. Dust and fiber are two types of solid particles that may be of concern depending on their nature. Chemical hazards can have several methods of exposure either through skin contact, ingestion, absorption by the skin, and/or by breathing them in. Due to their hazardousness, chemical substances are identified by Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and are required in the workplace for reference. Biological hazards are living organisms and enter the worker which can cause infection and disease.

For my mindful reflection journal this week I decided to work on my communication with my wife. My wife and I have been together for six year now. One of the things we do best is talking. Though we are great at talking, we have lost our way when it communications to positive communication. We tend to have little arguments, though normal, we noticed that we bicker more than we would like to. We decided to talk about our communication on our walk at Green Lake in Seattle, WA. As I mention in a previous journal, this is a place we love to go to. That being said, it seemed like the best place for us to walk and talk and not be in our home. As we walked we discussed ways on how to talk to each other by not raising our voices, throwing what I

Three points that I would like to reflect upon in this critical reflective journal is the current collaboration with Hawthorne and the project we have been asked to carried out. Another aspect would be about my expectations that I had with collaborating with Hawthorne and how I feel about it as of right now.

In this second post I have greatly been inspired by the things that I have read. In the position on whether or not Google Scholar is a good resource for doctoral research, I would weight it as any other search tool. It is only as good as the foundation it stands on. What I mean about that statement is, if the information that you find has no credibility, then it can’t help you. I was reading in the Researchers of Tomorrow: The Research Behavior of Generation Y Doctoral Students in different groups was looking for particular information. This information raged from mathematical data to scientific data. Depending on that information research that student (after doing the research) must evaluate the validity of that information found. I don’t

INTRODUCTION Safety and health in the mining industry has been a growing concern across countries worldwide. There has been a stable improvement of safety performance in the South African mining industry between the year 2003 and 2013, although injuries and fatalities remain high. This raises the concern to improve the health and safety of mine employees (M. da Silva da Mata & F. Kalema, 2013). H.A Strydom & N.D King (2009) states that, for effective managing and development of mining operations in South Africa, health and safety of employees must be an essential component in the industry. Corrective measures should be put into place to ensure that occupational diseases in the mining industry are preventable, not only for the employees but
