at WorkBridgwater Hospital

Clearwater Road, Bridgwater, BW1 9YG

21, Cherry Drive, Bridgwater, BW2 7ST 21 September 2010Dear 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?What further action is necessary?How you will put these ideas into action?

Please contact the Health and Safety team should you require further assistance.

Yours sincerely,

Nina SullivanHospital Manager

Click and drag to match the advice (left) with the question (right).

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.

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.

List what is already in place to reduce the likelihood of harm or make any harm less serious.

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.

Remember to prioritise. Deal with those hazards that are high-risk and have serious consequences first.

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, toucan or puffin crossing, or where there is a crossing point controlled by a police officer, a school crossing patrol or 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.
