Safety standards

The standard from the National Safety and Quality Health Service (2012) that I believe has the highest risk associated for a graduate nurse is Standard 4 Medication Safety (Bain).

The shift of demand to other cleaner resources such as green technologies posed a growing threat as well. The worker conditions are also a threat because they were potentially dangerous and

Standardized work forms the baseline for continuous improvement. Once a single standard gets improved; the new standard becomes the baseline for future improvements. Improvement in standardized work is a continuous process. Standardized process has 3 elements – a) Takt time – time taken for the end product to meet customer demand, b) work sequence – Operator to perform tasks within takt time, and c) Standard inventory – standard inventory required to be kept to ensure smooth operation
