Safe practice underpins everything we do when providing care and support. Having an awareness of how to work safely can not only minimise the risk of harm to you, but also to those you work with and provide care for.
Workplace injuries can be catastrophic for those in care. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) estimates that there are approximately 600,000 non-fatal workplace accidents in the UK each year, so having an awareness of how to work safely can not only minimise the risk of harm to you but also to those you work with and provide care for.
