Bridgwater Hospital Clearwater Road, Bridgwater, BW1 9YG 21, Cherry Drive, Bridgwater, BW2 7ST 21 September 2010 Dear Mr Patel, As part of you responsibilities as senior ward nurse in Bridgwater Hospital’s paediatric ward, the senior management team would like you to undertake a review of the potential risks to patients and staff in your ward. The management team will expect a report by 31 March 2013 covering the aspects below: What are the potential risks? Who could be harmed and how? What you are already doing to minimise risks?

22. What are the potential risks? Who could be harmed and how? What you are already doing to minimise risks? What further action is necessary? How you will put these ideas into action? Safety at Work What advice would you give Ravi to prepare for each section of his report? Click and drag to match the advice (left) with the question (right). • Walk around the workplace. • Ask other employees what they think. • Visit the website or call Health and Safety Executive Infoline. • Check manufacturers’ instructions for equipment used. Ensure that risks have been reduced ‘so far as is reasonably practicable’. An easy way of doing this is to compare what is being done already with good practice. If there is a difference, list what needs to be done. List what is already in place to reduce the likelihood of harm or make any harm less serious. Activity 12 Remember to prioritise. Deal with those hazards that are high-risk and have serious consequences first. • Identify workers who have particular needs. • People who may not be in the workplace all the time. • Hazards caused by members of the public. • How the general work could affect others present. • Explore how the hazard could cause harm.

35. Next Road Safety 1. First find a safe place to cross and where there is space to reach the pavement on the other side. Where there is a crossing nearby, use it. It is safer to cross using a subway, a footbridge, an island, a zebra, pelican, toucanor puffincrossing, or where there is a crossing point controlled by a police officer, a school crossing patrolor a traffic warden. Otherwise choose a place where you can see clearly in all directions. Try to avoid crossing between parked cars and on a blind bend or close to the brow of a hill. Move to a space where drivers and riders can see you clearly. Activity 18

36. Next Road Safety 2. Stop just before you get to the kerb where you can see if anything is coming and where drivers can see you. Do not get too close to the traffic. If there is no pavement, keep back from the edge of the road but make sure you can still see approaching traffic. Activity 18

37. Next Road Safety 3. Look all around for traffic and listen. Traffic could come from any direction. Listen as well, because you can sometimes hear traffic before you see it. Activity 18

38. Next Road Safety 4. When it is safe, go straight across the road – do not run. If traffic is coming, let it pass. Look all around again and listen. Do not cross until there is a safe gap in the traffic and you are certain that there is plenty of time. Remember, even if traffic is a long way off, it may be approaching very quickly. Activity 18

39. Back Road Safety 5. When it is safe go straight across the road – do not run! Keep looking and listening for traffic while you cross, in case there is any traffic you did not see, or in case other traffic appears suddenly. Look out for cyclists and motorcyclists travelling between lanes of traffic. Do not walk diagonally across the road. Activity 18
