Risk Assessments
Getting a risk assessment
Potentially, home care workers face significant risks during their working day. The fact that they are working alone, off-site, in somebody’s house is an obvious source of potential hazards. Domiciliary care workers may also have to administer medication, lift or move service users and use domestic equipment such as cookers, kettles, microwaves and vacuum cleaners.
In extreme cases there may even be the risk of violence or abuse.
It’s not just a case of satisfying the Health and Safety at Work Act; as a responsible employer we want to be sure we are taking all reasonable and practical steps possible to protect your staff and service users from potential harm.
This means having comprehensive and up-to-date risk assessments for all home care service users.
These assessments are available to care workers – particularly if they are visiting a new or unfamiliar service user.
