What is health and safety?
Occupational safety and health, also commonly referred to as occupational health and safety, occupational health, or workplace health and safety, is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the safety, health, and welfare of people at work.
Why is health and safety training important for health & social care?
An awareness of health and safety is essential for those who provide health and social care services. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the enforcing authority for workers in England, Scotland and Wales and also for patient and service users in Scotland and Wales.
In England, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has responsibility for patient and service user health and safety for providers registered with them. From 1st April 2015, the Care Quality Commission took over the lead role for patient and service user health and safety in health and adult social care in England.
