Health and safety are often regarded as just common sense. But they are clearly much more than that. Years ago, they were considered important only in so-called ‘dangerous’ industries such as coal mining, steel making and construction, where injuries and fatalities were more commonplace than today.


This bilingual resource aims to help you to:

- Monitor and maintain the safety and security of the working environment
- Promote health and safety in the working environment
- Minimise risks arising from emergencies

The content provides underpinning information and context for all care and support workers. It is not intended to be a comprehensive guide, nor is it intended to replace employers’ guides and procedures. It is suggested as a useful starting place for new staff at the point of their induction into working in the social services.
