In order to access additional support and information relating to health and safety I would refer to my manager, the policies and procedures supplied by my organization and access any government based websites. Your manager should provide everyone with training for all these.
2.3 It is important to assess health and safety hazards posed by the work setting or by particular activities in order to prevent risk of injury to colleagues, other residents and myself. I would report any potential health and safety risks that have been identified immediately to my manager or senior on duty verbally and by written report if necessary. Risk assessment can help address dilemmas between rights and health and safety concerns as the risk assessment will highlight a risk, therefore if there is any dilemma as to whether the resident could carry out an activity, as they may be legally entitled to, there will be legal documentation to state that an employee has notified the client of the risks involved in that activity.
