Course Summary:
Hospitals provide an immensely necessary service within society, and due to their nature, they can come with a large number of occupational risks. It is vital for management to control these risks through occupational safety management, or it could lead to a greater mortality rate of patients and employees becoming injured at a significant rate.
A primary factor in managing occupational safety is to develop a great understanding of the risks themselves. Through risk and hazard assessments, management can gather detailed data surrounding the types of risks, their frequency and where they are most likely to occur. Using this data, preventive measures can be effectively implemented to reduce risk probability. Other measures such as PPE and different security systems can also minimise risk potential.
Risks can occur in many different ways, but a risk that is prevalent throughout any healthcare facility is infectious disease. There are extensive measures that can be taken to reduce the chance of disease spreading, and these measures begin with understanding exactly what an infectious disease is, how it can spread and what actions can be done to prevent it.
