1. What are the health and safety requirements, and safe working practices and procedures required for the hand fitting activities undertaken?

6.2 To understand individuals needs and preference and to meet them, to move the individual safely and correctly, to involve individual in the process, to minimise injury to individual, myself or others and ensuring that move is comfortable for the individual.

Before I start work, I ensure that the environment is spacious to avoid any accidents.

Making sure the individual is correctly positioned and safely positioned in vital and if they aren’t 100% correct then you must start again to ensure this.

During the sessions the focus will be on safety and utilization of body mechanics. Printed materials regarding patient lifting and moving are available via the Employee Health office and will be handed out during the training.

There are many things which can affect access to complementary therapies. The ones I will be explaining are:

There are safe principles for moving and handling, by following them it protects those in the social care setting from injury and harm. This will also reduce the risk of injury and it will make you look at and identify potential hazards and risks. It also gives you the opportunity for alternative working practices this could be trained for the different types of moving and handling aids. When moving someone/something additional support may be necessary, as the area could be cramped the load could be heavy or unstable. It is very important for moving and handling that all task are carried out and the correct training has been undertaken as this comply with the legislation and to minimise any injury to our

The list of tasks to be completed is: COM-3011 Verification; Sample Rate Decimation; VITA-49 Packaging; Ethernet Transmission; and Software Functionality.

2. My second clinical goal for this week is to be able to demonstrate safe and cleanly nursing practices when performing a skill. I want to make sure the environment is safe and comfortable for the patient by making sure there is nothing on the ground if a patient has a risk for falls, or by putting on a gait belt if needed. I could
