Explain The Role Of Errors In Oxford

In dealing with an accident or hazard for example if a child was to trip and fall in the playground, there are set instructions to follow to ensure the incident is dealt with appropriately. This would involve taking the child to a registered first aider within the building to allow the child to receive treatment on any injury they may have received. An accident for needs to be filled out so that the accident has been recorded, this then needs to be logged and reported to a senior member or staff. As well as this the incident will need to be reported to and explain to the parents. An extra measure would be to carry out an assessment of the playground to make sure there are no hazards which may have caused the accident such as stones or glass for a child to trip over or no broken equipment or uneven surfaces which may cause futures problems.

1.2 Identify the lines of responsibility and reporting for health and safety in the work setting

|responsibilities that we have to follow. We have to always be aware of and report changes in the health |264 |1 |1 |

The 3rd act I’m going to write about is ‘Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995’ It regulates the statutory obligation to report deaths, injuries, diseases and dangerous occurrences that take place at work. Responsible persons are generally employers but also include various managers and occupiers of premises. Though the regulations do not impose a specific obligation on employees, they have a general obligation under section 7 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 to take care of safety. The Health and Safety Executive recommends that they report incidents to their employer and encourages notification to the relevant authority.

Staff are informed of all procedures needed to be followed if they discover a problem – there are forms to fill in on the VLE for reporting a risk or a hazard and also a flow chart to show what member of staff issues should be reported to.

The people responsible for reporting of injuries, diseases and dangerous occurrences regulations 1985 (RIDDOR) and the documentation of are the office manager and administrator. The law states that employers report:

Also to avoid dangerous moving and handling, the employees then have the responsibility of making sure they use all equipment as they have been trained to do so, follow all health and safety working practices within their workplace, avoid putting themselves, other staff, individuals or visitors at risk, and making sure they report any hazards or risks to their employer.

Employers have duties under health and safety law to assess risks in the workplace. Risk assessments should be carried out that address all risks that might cause harm in the workplace. Employers must give employees information about the risks in their workplace and how they are protected, also instruct and train their employees on how to deal with the risks. Employers must consult employees on health and safety issues. Consultation must be either direct or through a safety representative that is either elected by the workforce or appointed by a trade union. It is an employees duty to take reasonable care of their own health and safety. If possible avoid wearing jewellery or loose clothing if operating machinery. If the employee has long hair or wears a headscarf, make sure it's tucked out of the way (it could get caught in machinery). To take reasonable care not to put other people such as fellow employees and members of the public at risk by what they do or don't do in the course of their work. To co-operate with the employer, making sure the employee gets proper training and the employee understands and follows the company's health and safety policies. Not to interfere with or misuse anything that's been provided for their health, safety or welfare. To report any injuries, strains or illnesses they suffer as a result of doing their job (the employer may need to change the way they work). To tell their employer if something

It is important to recognise the different responsibilities and approaches of a member of staff, the employer and others in the work setting. For example the employer is responsible to provide PPE and relevant health and safety training free of charge. It is then the responsibility of a staff member to use the PPE and to attend the training. So although the responsibilities are different they are also related and both need to work in order to ensure a high standard of health and safety. The employer provides as safe working environment, however if an accident or incident occurs it requires the efforts of both staff and sometimes others to report this to ensure measures are put into place to reduce any risk associated with the incident or accident. Another example of how health and safety has a linked responsibility can be shown through a member of staff ensuring they provide the relevant fire safety information/instructions to others. It is then the responsibility for others to follow these instructions.

Staff are made aware of their duty to inform HT of changes/hazards/problems as and when they occur.

Major injuries including fractures, dislocations, loss of sight, poisoning, unconsciousness and any injury resulting in someone needing resuscitation, any incidents leading to someone having to take a leave of absence from work for more than three days, Reportable injuries such as hepatitis, HIV, meningitis and tuberculosis. Or any potential dangerous occurrences that may not have lead to injury or disease such as fires, needle-stick injury and collapse of lifting equipment. Reporting all these incidents allows the council or HSE to investigate why and how they occurred and ways in which to prevent them happening again in the future.

Reporting of Injuries,Diseases and dangerous occurrences regulations of 1995 requires the reporting of work-related accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences. The Act applies to all work related activities, but not to all work related incidents. The objective of the regulations is to enable the enforcing authorities to identify where and how risks arise and to investigate serious accidents so as to prevent them from occurring in the future and thus providing a safer work environment. The enforcing authorities can then help and advise you on preventive action to reduce injury, ill health and accidental loss,the main points of our own policy that relate to this are:

* Put together a human resource guideline handbook that states what policies and procedures you will and expect the

The second most devastating global conflict, also known as World War II, left over 60 million dead creating panic and fear for citizens all over the world. During these hard times the citizens, dealing with a national crisis, needed something to give them hope that there will be betters days. Propaganda was used in political cartoons to release information that contained biased views and over exaggerations to gain support for the war. These cartoons gave hope to the people and also affected a majority of their opinions. Propaganda became used as a weapon during World War II to create nasty images of the enemy, get individuals to help support the war, to boost the confidence of people, and give them hope during hard times.

This responsibility motivates the HR department and managers to implement stringent policies to prevent work-related injuries to avoid paying for higher workers’ compensation insurance. Moreover, it inspires the company to promote safety by organizing a safety committee to address hazards in the workplace to prevent injuries or deaths. The committee solicits employee suggestions and participation to increase compliance to company policies. It also develops various safety programs to promote employee wellness to improve their quality of life (Gomez-Mejia, et al, 2010).
