Unit 2 Health and Safety Level 5 HND Diploma Business

Health and Safety is the most required and important in workplace which needs to be take care the needs of employees and give them the best productive healthy environment. Present report based on ICAT. Being Quality engineer it is my work to measure the proper working measures health & Safety. ICAT has responsible for encouragement regulation and enforcement of workplace (Donham and Thelin, 2016). It gives better effective environment in the organisation and sustain health and safety among employees and workers. ICAT is basically an organisation which influence organisation to keep the safety of employees and workers in working premises. Being a Quality engineer analyses various health and safety hazards during an examination process. The whole will be based on ICAT workshop where it will be based on health and safety issues. Overall, report will be based on ICAT which helps company with better performance level. Along with that, it will also influence the matter of fact. It also helps to make the better effective process. It will explain some risk full hazards which might be affect overall environment process.

Below I will list health and safety breaches that I have Identified in the ICAT workshop:

Investigation process and techniques helps to identify the needs and growth of the organisation. Investigation would happen with many methods such as supervision, monitoring taking feedbacks etc. through quality engineer can easily take the investigation process to take corrective action plan. Organisation needs to carry proper safety equipments and investigation kit (Memon and et.al., 2017). This helps to give cure to the employee in case of any hazards. Besides, there are different techniques and methods to take care the needs of employees by ensuring the positive behaviour of employees, by ensuring the proper safety and health precautions.

Below I will explain the breaches that I have observed in the ICAT workshops and these are discussed as under :

• Oil on the floor has been observed but it could have caused major complications if someone has been walked incidently on it. It can be about any patient or even staff members also that if anyone had been walked on that, it can further cause slips and that can be very complicated as well. In this the role of the person identifying the same is to report the same to the management so that they can make it clean with the help of a worker. Also, then the responsibility of the health care is that they should ensure that they try to maintain proper safety measures in the health acre so that the workers can ensure a proper cleaning so that the safety of the patients can stay maintained.
• While roaming in the corridor of the hospital, I found that some electric wires were loose enough. But the fact that should be ensured here is that its consequence would be very dangerous if anyone will touch the naked wired incidently, it can pass current tot heir bodies, resulting in their death as well. So, the same should be contacted to the management so that they can bring some technical person to make effective changes. This will help in providing a sort of safety to the people inside the hospital.
• Also, while touching one of the machine inside the ICU, I got current, so I think there might be some issues with respect to the engines of the machine. I reported the same to the technical assistant of the hospital so that they can organise a small session where they can analyse the performance and operations of all the instruments and devices. It will help in staying away from any such hazard that can cause complications for any person.
• Extinction it is the another hazards that I observed at the work place. This extinction can be harm to the workers in order to protect the role and responsibility. Moreover, it gives negative impression on the behaviour of employees. On the basis of this hazard I report to manager of the ICAT in order to ensure the proper productiveness in the company in order to remove them all. Overall. This can be get hurt to any employees and give short-circuit in the electricity. This is the reason that connects people according to that matter of fact.
• Ergonomic Hazards it is the another hazard I observed at the workplace. Where many of the employees are not get physical fit and comfortable in the working position. From the analysation. Moreover, it gives better opportunity and gives better quality performance of work. Physical fitness is more important and necessary for the employees. Otherwise, it cause body disease and illness to employees. On the basis of my observation I recommend to manager that arrange some exercise machines at work place either arrange some yoga session for employees.
• Fire Works is the another possibility of hazard that might affect employee life or health. It is most dangerous and risk full process that should be removed by the company from employees. From my observation, it has been cleared that, it should be considered some protection level of work. Apart from that, it also arranges some better quality of equipments and better quality of work performance. Moreover, I recommend to company for better performance and quality enhancement process.

Methods of investigation the quality in health and safety organisations.

• Oil on the floor: It is the big hazard at the work place through company might be facing heavy loss or face employee damages. Generally in the organisation employer fails to monitor the full scenario or environment due to which uncertain activities has occurred in the organisation along with that, it will more dangerous and productive in nature. Long with that, it will more productive and effective manner of growth. Due to this hazards company employee might be hurt which creates negative impression in front the employees' behaviour.
• Cable: Due to improper electricity precautions workers or any employee of the organisation get hurt and caught into the electric shock. It is the responsibility of employee to take care the needs of employees safety.
