Overview
Due to the sensitive nature of care receivers and the complicated surroundings in which they live, health and safety are vital concerns in the care sector. Infections, mishaps, and other dangers that can seriously affect the health of carers and clients alike must be avoided at all costs by maintaining a safe and healthy workplace. This course gives participants the information and abilities needed to uphold the highest levels of safety and care by offering thorough insights into the health and safety precautions that must be taken when providing care. By signing up for this course, you will learn the essential concepts and industry standards that protect people's health in care environments.
The curriculum for the courses is carefully crafted to address every crucial facet of health and safety in the healthcare setting. The "Basic Framework for Health and Safety," which establishes the groundwork for comprehending the fundamental ideas, comes first. The section "Information and Guidance for Health and Safety" that follows provides thorough explanations of the required policies and procedures.
