A care home is a unique work environment as its main priority is to ensure that residents are kept comfortable and safe whilst maintaining their dignity and freedom wherever possible. This means that health and safety has to be at the forefront of everything that a care setting offers and so there are a number of responsibilities that need to be undertaken.
Our online Health and Safety in A Care Setting Course looks at the responsibilities of both management and employees when it comes to developing systems of work, keeping people safe and remaining within any legislation that applies. It will also cover the common hazards that you might expect to encounter and emergency situations that could occur.
In addition to the health and safety of the residents of the care setting, it will also look at the aspects of the work environment and staff welfare that also fall under the health and safety bracket.
Anyone who works in a care setting should have a good understanding of health and safety, and this online course acts as the perfect introduction to the subject. It ensures that both managers and employees are aware of their own individual health and safety responsibilities, both for the residents and for other staff members.
This interactive video based online course makes learning as easy and engaging as possible. It covers a wide range of health and safety situations and is approved by IIRSM and CPD.
This course is a useful introduction to the subject of health and safety in a care setting and can provide the ideal foundation to go on and study other courses in the health and social care sector as part of any work towards a Care Certificate.
The course is easy for learners to manage as it is broken down into useful modules which each come with their own multiple-choice quiz to check your understanding. Managers have the ability to see the learning platform and track how staff members are progressing.
