Unit 3 Health, Safety & Security[pic 1]Executive SummaryThe report is about health care and its relation with safety rules and precautionary policies. We insist that as a health care officer, this report should be revised to have concept about safety and being prepared of any sudden hazards. Table of ContentExecutive Summary Table of Content Introduction Task 1 Task 2(A) Task 2(B) Task 3 Task 4(A) P4: Dealing with Accidents Conclusion References IntroductionThis is a report where we did some analysis about potential hazards and learned about their precautionary, measure mental & post disaster steps. While it also gives us the concept of regulation influencing the organization’s safety.
The summary of the safety review will be followed by a follow-up report on the risk of serious accidents. In this case safety is the safety or risk management of persons, a situation in which a hazard might be exposed to the care & risk of a critical life event. The safety review of health care organizations should be designed to provide the broadest possible coverage for all stakeholders. This summary of safety analysis is a reference in order to the current policy that is under review.
Health care, safety & #038. The most common problems are high accident rates and the high rates seen for the care of a serious accident. At the end of the report we will discuss more about the risk of serious, severe, and sometimes fatal accidents and some of the potential consequences of not properly performing the actions and care of those involved. We need to consider more specific actions and care as the most important factors to consider. Here the following three questions and the list of possible actions are the most closely linked to the number of reported incidents:1. What is the number of injuries/dangerous/distress caused by the risk of serious accidents in the world?2. Who is responsible for the high rate of serious accidents reported in the current report?3). The need to improve measures such as self-awareness of risk of serious accidents?
Figure 1 presents the number of reported accidents of persons, medical personnel and their carers since the World Trade Organization opened its safety agenda in May 1986. The figures in this figure are based on WHO data from January 1991 for all reports which include incident definitions and have been corrected for missing or underrecorded data. Since 1992 the number of reported incidents of medical personnel was taken from the World Health Organization under existing conditions and it will be updated to reflect the new data.
What are the main factors under consideration to prevent, respond to, or mitigate risk of a serious incident? Figure 2 illustrates a recent report of the World Health Organization on the incidence/death rate of serious accidents in developed countries. It was compiled on January 29, 2011 and was entitled: “Health System in Developing Countries with High Intensity of Mortality: Health Systems, Safety, and Risk in Health-care and Hospital Facilities.” A study conducted on the need to deal more effectively with high accident incidence in developed countries was undertaken by the World Health Organization in 2010. During this time, the number of incidents had increased by 24%. In that report it had been taken from WHO data since July 2008 under existing conditions and not from WHO protocols. We would also like to note that while the number of reports was higher in other countries it is higher in the developed world. In some emerging countries such as Mexico, where death rate has dropped, the number of accidents is high compared to countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, Norway, the Philippines and Vietnam.

Task 1 Here, we will know about the precautions which should be taken in the case of setting up a health or social care. P1: Potential Hazard in Health & Social Care SettingWhile establishing any medical care or any social care, there can be various problems which should be checked for avoiding further unhealthy situation. For having a perfect environment for health or social care, this termination of the unexpected problems is very important. Analyzing two scenarios, we have found some misjudgement of the authorities and they are given below: Every visitor of any patient should be checked for germ before letting them visiting.A health care must have properly used their doors & windows as a precaution of dusts. Extra dust from outside may create an unhygienic environment. While talking about any patient, nurses should make sure that the conversation is not heard by another patient. Because it can have effects on the mentality of that patient. Besides, the privacy of other patient is violated here too.The nurses should examine and give medicine after washing their hands properly. Otherwise, unexpected germs can affect the patient. We have to remember that extra germ in an already weak body can be devastatingly harmful. The fire exit of the health care or social care building should be improvised. It should be easy to use and there should be a clear and broad pathway. The placement of a health care or social care should be in a calm place. It helps the patient to recover quickly.The staff should be trained properly so that the health care and social care runs properly according to its purpose. So we should think about these precautions while setting up any health care or social care. Because these cares should have a hygienic and proper environment to maintain the purpose of the organizations (Rasmussen, Rhonda, Mylonas & Beck, 2012).
