| Wet floor | People getting hurt, bones getting broken. | Children can easily fall over even if they aren’t running over the wet floor. To prevent this there should be warning signs before the wet floor. For example “caution wet floor alert” The care workers are also at risk because they can still fall over with them knowing that the floor is wet. | Doors | There is a lot of risk with doors, fingers being squashed leading to broken fingers, feet, legs being caught in them.
• Insufficient or incorrect adhesive. • Floor subjected to excessive moisture or excessively dry conditions. Cure: Noises in only certain areas may be fixed by injecting adhesive into the problem area, screwing the floor down from below, strengthening the subfloor from below or using facenails or screws and plugs. Squeaks also may be lubricated with graphite, wax or baby powder, although such solutions will contaminate the floor for future finishing. Floors that are noisy and loose throughout the entire area usually have to be pulled and reinstalled, correcting the problem—whether it is caused by the subfloor, fastening schedule or
Secondly, the area has several faults running through the area where the proposed facility was to be built. Constant shaking of the ground is going to do damage to any structure in the area. Finally, the water source underneath the facility may be needed in the future to provide water to metropolitan areas. Radioactive waste is dangerous wherever it is stored. I believe that placing these materials in an area which is unstable would just be a mistake.
For the litter that I acknowledged (sandwich box), there may have been something hazardous present within it, for instance: a small piece of glass. This would evidently be exceedingly dangerous as an individual may not be aware that it is present in there. This could then lead onto them not only cutting themselves, but possibly even causing serious damage/injury to them as even a small piece of glass is very sharp. The way in which this hazard could be decreased in order to minimise the risks is by picking it up and throwing it into the
Investigators or criminalistics need to know a few things in order to make the determination that glass was broken from the inside or the outside. They need details to determine where the breaking force was applied to a pane of glass. The investigator needs to gather pieces of the broken glass and identify the inside and outside of the glass which the outside will most likely be the dirtier side. Next they need to examine the cracks to examine the rib marks and decided if it is spiral or radial. Determining the pattern of the break in the glass will lead to the conclusion of which side of the glass the break occurred.
Being malnourished can be classed as physical abuse. Signs/symptoms: Signs of physical abuse can be injuries such as bruises, cuts and burns. These abuse injuries are usually in easily hidden places that cant be seen, they are unexplained and can go untreated to avoid being found. Physical injuries that are being inflicted over a period time are often in different stages of healing. Weight loss and unkempt appearance can be signs of abuse.
Restoration work requires knowledge of specialised techniques. These conditions have not always been met. There is evidence that restoration work, using for example poor quality concrete and mortar, has actually hastened the deterioration of buildings at both Pompeii and Herculaneum. In both

Cii - the risks in the case study are the burst pipe which causes leaking onto the floor which is a risk/ hazard of slipping and hurting themselves there is also the leaking onto the light fitting which could put the individual at risk of electrocution if they try to use it. Ciii - report this immediately and fill out the relevant documentation, to ensure it is done correctly you must include the time and date, a detailed report of what happened, what action you have taken and the outcome of the situation itself, it is then to be signed and printed by you who has reported it. Case Study Two Civ - a risk assessment will identify the hazards and the risks, this can help Ellie’s mum put into place safeguarding so that these can be avoided or dealt with, it will also tell you the abilities of Ellie and where she may need assistance such as someone meeting her at each end of the bus journey and helping her on and off of the bus, this can be reviewed to meet the need of Ellie and her mum as time goes on, it will also demonstrate how the benefits of this may outweigh the risks.
