PWCS 04 Introduction awareness of health and safety in health, social care

and children’s and young people’s settings

Time to think…………..

Here are some 3D shapes what are their mathematical names?

Objectives

Identify seven key areas of health and safety in a work place

Describe different types of fire extinguishers

Describe a fire evacuation plan Summarise current health and

safety legislation Evaluate the impact of health and

safety in a work place setting

Discussion

What are key areas of health and safety in an adults health and social care setting?

Paired Activity

What are key areas of health and safety in children’s and young peoples settings?

The key areas of health and safety

Fire Safety Moving and handling First Aid Security Storage and disposal of hazardous

substances Medication storage and administration Infection prevention and control

Moving and Handling

Research

Do you know the different type of fire extinguishers?

After researching write up what they are used for and an evacuation procedure that would be followed in a setting.

Why do we have evacuation practices?

Have you met any objectives?

What legislation affects H&S?

It is the employers responsibility to comply with legislation and the workers responsibility to comply with the policies and procedures of the setting.

Group Activity

In your groups you will be given two areas of health and safety to produce a display about.

Remember to consider what the employers responsibility is and what the employees responsibility is.

What training would be required?

Presentations

Groups to present information.

Have you met any objectives?

Reflect

Do you know the Fareham College fire evacuation procedure?

Review-Seven Key Areas

Activity-Use your template to make a Heptagonal Prism listing the seven key areas.

Directed Study Task

Take a photograph of the display and complete Task 1 on Oracle by producing a information fact sheet.

1.1 Outline key areas of health and safety relating to a work setting.

1.2 Outline employers responsibilities for health and safety

1.3 Outline workers responsibilities for health and safety

1.4 Give examples of health and safety training required in the work setting

Day 2

Time to think…………..

How many words from the letters in

hazardous

Objectives

Identify basic principles of food safety and hygiene

Illustrate an understanding of the temperature required for safe food storage

Explain the basic rules of food hygiene

Recap

Use your Heptagonal Prism and ask a peer a question about one of the seven areas of health and safety.

Food Safety

To control outbreaks of food poisoning in health, social care and children's settings it is important to have a basic knowledge of food safety and hygiene.

How can food be kept safe?

Temperature Control

Can you remember what body temperature is?

The danger zone for foods that are affected by bacteria is between 5 and 63°C, so food should be kept and stored outside this zone.

Activity

Create a thermometre to show the above information.

Method Temperature

Freezer -18 to 22° C

Refrigerator Legal requirement 8°C, good practice 5-6° C

Hot holding food Hot food must be maintained at a temperature of 63°C

Reheating commercially manufactured food that has been cooked once during manufacture

Temperature of reheated food must reach a minimum of 82°C

Have you met any objectives?

Reflect

Who should you report cases of food poisoning to?

Day 3

Time to Think………

A smoke alarm costs £5.00

How much would it cost to have three smoke alarms in your house?

If the smoke alarm was reduced by 10% how much would it cost?

How much would three smoke alarms now cost?

Objectives

Identify what is meant by risk Describe different types of hazards Explain the term ‘risk assessment’ Demonstrate how to carry out a

risk assessment Reflect on the importance of a risk

assessment.

Recap

Write down the seven areas of health and safety?

What is a risk?

Watch this clip -can you identify examples of hazards and risks

A hazard is something that can cause injury or harm to a person. A risk is what can happen as a result of a hazard.

Safety Video

Activity- complete this table

Hazards Risks

Hot Drinks

Trailing wires and cables

The soiled nappy bin

Objects left on stairs in a care home

Think of two more hazards

Risk Assessment

What is a risk assessment? Why do we need to do risk assessments? How do we do a risk assessment?

Lets look at an example

PAT Testing

Portable appliance testing (PAT) The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989

require that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition

Group Activity

Scenario: At a nursery school, there are some

chairs stacked high in front of a fire escape door.

Answer the following questions- What is the hazard? What is the risk? Level of risk? Type of people affected? Person Responsible?

Have you met any objectives?

Lets go for a walk and risk assess

Reflect

Was the risk assessment easy?

What did you discover?

What safety measures would need to be in place?

Consider the occasions when a risk assessment needs to be carried out.

Directed Study- Task 2

Type up an information fact sheet to cover:-

2.1 Outline what is meant by risk 2.2 Give examples of hazards and their

associated risks 2.3 Outline the purpose of a risk

assessment 2.4 Identify occasions when a risk

assessment is necessary
