Principles of safeguarding and protection in health and social care Short Answer Questions NVQ Unit 5 – 1.3, 4.1, 4.2, 5.2, 5.3 Tech Cert Unit 4 – 1.3, 4.1, 4.2, 5.2, 5.3 1. Explain what a care worker must do if they become aware of unsafe practices. Firstly they must ensure that the service user is safe and out of any immediate danger, and preserve any evidence of the abuse if there is any. They then need to report this to a supervisor/manager who should then contact social services and/or the police. Also reports will need to be written up.
Project 1 - BSBOHS201A HAZARDS ELIMINATE or CONTROL MEASURES Slips and trips 1 Work areas should be kept clear of obstructions.

I must follow the confidentiality policy and not discuss any information about children, their families and sensitive information about the setting matters to anyone unless there is an appropriate reason to do so. Following the health & safety policy I must record any accidents in the relevant accident book and fill an accident slip in to send home to notify the parent/carer of their child’s accident. Check the furniture, equipment and toys are safe for children to use before the children come into the setting and report any hazards/faulty equipment to the appropriate person as soon as possible. In regards to the EYFS I promote the development of all seven areas of the E.Y.F.S I encourage all children to interact and work co-operatively with others and engage in all activities. I also support the equality and inclusion and acceptance of all children within the setting.
To prevent poisoning in both adult and children use safety locks on all cabinets, store food and chemical products in separate areas, keep medications out of sight, teach children about poisonous substances, and discard all old or outdated medications. 3. First aid for swallowed poisons is to have victim lay down, give victim lots of clear liquids, treat for shock, and seek medical attention 4. First aid for inhaled poison is to call 911 and poison control center, put unresponsive victim in recovery
The Lead Supervisor shall then report to the Owner the incident. Any incident resulting in the death of one (1) or more persons; or in the hospitalization of three (3) or more persons, shall be reported to the closest OSHA office within eight (8) hours by the Owner. In the absence of the Owner, the Lead Supervisor shall perform that function. All efforts shall be made to document the scene of an incident by the Lead Supervisor, and/or by someone under his supervision. This shall be done with the aid of still photos, videos, and sketches.
It is the employers responsibilty to assess the risk of infection or the spread of infection and they must also ensure that all relevant procedures are in place and adhered to by their staff, as well as providing the relevant training for their staff to attend. It is very important that all information on infection control is displayed and information on policies and procedures are stored where they can be viewed by all staff. They must also supervise their staff, and complete infection control observations, for example, hand hygeine audits. A record of all infection must be kept. They must also ensure that areas are cleaned regularly
The implication is that the ASM has duties in assisting the SM on daily site activities. I would suggest that health and safety duties should be dealt with through the SM or in his or her absence then the appointed safety adviser. The reporting of site hazards by the ASM to the SM should be intrinsic. The ASM's role in keeping records associated with safety, eg statutory inspections, including records required by CDM for hazard management - eg sub-contractors method statements etc, and anything else required by statue or included in the Construction Phase Plan and by the relevant procedures in the contractors Manual for Quality, Safety and the Environment. The ASM will spend more time out of the site than the SM, so he will be vigilant looking for unsafe practices, sub-contractors not working to method statements; barriers warning notices etc requiring reconfigurat- ion, or subject to unauthorised modification, and any other safety related
Duty of care means to so far as reasonable possible look after a child young person and protect them from harm under obligation of the law. In our holiday camp, we make sure that every child is safe and that any accidents or incidents that occur are reported, documented and checked through and signed by management and the parent or gaurdian of the child. We sit children down who we can see need guidance and help them to recognise the right choices, and the concequences of making the wrong ones. We never take sides and make sure that every child is listened to and supported in which ever way we can. 1.2 Explain how duty of care contributes to the safeguarding of individuals.
Supervision is important even with non-toxic materials. Problems can occur if toys with batteries are not treated properly. Small batteries, such as the mercury disc batteries present a danger particularly to young children who can choke on them or swallow them and be poisoned. They should never be left lying around, children should be taught not to put them in their mouths, ears or up their noses. A child should never be left to change the battery of a toy.
