P3.1 Identify possible hazards in the environment and the appropriate action
At my work placement I witnessed numerous hazards most of them were common liquid spillages from this I acted reliable and did the appropriate action by removing the children from the area, placing a wet floor sign over the spillage so no one will slip and injure themselves then by using warm water and adding disinfector to mop up the wet floor. Secondly the location that I have chosen were the children’s toilets I went in there to clean my hands and the state of the toilets were awful they didn’t flush the toilets and they had stains. Also the tissues were left on the floor and all over the toilet seats, from this I removed all the tissues then I notified a member of staff about the situation. Thirdly another hazard that I saw at my work placement was that a child ate a bread stick that was on the floor with other pieces of bread sticks underneath the snack table, when I witnessed it I went to get a dustpan and brush immediately to clear up the area from underneath the table and I also told the children to remain seated while they were eating or drinking. Fourthly the last hazard that I saw was when an autistic child hit the mirror in their dressing corner. As the child had autism, at times he was very aggressive and violent. As soon as I saw the broken mirror/ glasses on the floor, I went and cleared up the floor with broom stick. Whilst clearing up the floor I informed the other practitioner so they are aware of the broken pieces of glass. I also told the practitioner to remove all the children from that room and take them in another room for their health and safety.
