Personal hygiene is also important in the fight against infection. I must keep my nails short; this also helps prevent accidently harming the person when I am assisting them to move. Hair should be kept clean and long hair tied back out of the way. Watches and rings should not be worn
Infectious waste would include humans who have diarrhoea and this type of waste would have the risk of cross-contamination. Non-infectious waste would include household waste such as paper which carries a low level of risk with the potential of paper cuts. 3.2 To dispose of the different types of waste safely and without risk to others is the use of colour coding. This indicates the type of waste contained in the bags or containers. For example non-infectious waste in a nursing home, such as human faeces is disposed of in yellow clinical bag and collected usually by an outside company who will incinerate the waste.
Thus, personal protective equipment should not be regarded as a primary means to control hazards but rather as a addition to other types of control measure and we can give few examples as gloves to protect hands, aprons to protect skin and/or clothing, goggles to protect eyes, masks and respirators to protect mouth and respiratory area from airborne infectious agents and face shields to protect face, mouth, nose and eyes. We should always use comfortable PPE, compatible with our body type, and effective when we want to protect from the hazards. | 3 | Explain the reasons for use of PPE | | Personal protective equipment diminishes, but does not totally remove, the risk of acquiring an infection. It is important that it is used efficiently, acceptably and at all times where contact with blood and body fluids of patients may happen. We have to use PPE for the protection of staff, protection of service users and for prevention of cross infection between persons.
4. The reason for the national policy for colour coding of cleaning equipment is to ensure that the same cleaning equipment is not used in multiple areas, therefore reducing the risk of cross-infection. Outcome 2 1. The three steps of the decontamination process are cleaning, disinfecting and sterilisation. Disinfecting is a process used to reduce the number of micro-organisms to a safe level for a defined procedure but which may not necessarily inactivate all viruses and bacterial spores.
Unit Three 1. Describe four factors to consider when planning healthy and safe indoor and outdoor environments As a professional working with children, it is our responsibility to ensure that the children we work with feel safe, secure and protected. When it comes to planning activities, we must take into account the safety, security, hygiene and comfort of pupils who will be taking part. A learning environment can be in almost any area, inside or outside the school that is used for learning. For example, a learning environment could be; classroom, science lab, art studio, playground or sports field.
The situation and site factors involved in Global clothing industry’s location is it needs to be in a non polluted place because it needs to be the clothes made should be clean. The situation and site factors involved in Coca cola industry’s location is that the industry needs to be near the city for easy goods transportation. The situation and site factors involved in Bioscience industry’s and Biochemical industry’s location is that it needs to be in a far away place because they dump a lot of harmful stuff in the ground which may poison the water, soil etc.  Now pick an industry and describe how its closing would affect the town’s economy. Would the jobs lost in the closing be the only effect?
3.1 Describe the factors to take into account when planning healthy and safe indoor and outdoor environments and services Providing a good quality, safe and secure environment for children to play and learn is very important to help to stimulate their development. Stimulating the mood according to the activity e.g. if a calm musical activity, having slow disco lights with quiet music in the background or if a part then the room needs to be bright, full of colour and quite loud etc. this will influence the mood of the children and help the session/activity run smoothly. Having furniture that is appropriate for children as well as adults ill help set the mood and feel of the place.
In order to prevent dust mites vacuuming the rugs, dusting, low humidity in the air and using air fresheners will help keep the air clean. For older houses getting their house reventilated will help prevent the rise in dust
DO: Decorate tastefully When decorating your office, do so tastefully. Avoid displaying racy images or figures, and keep racial or religious items at home. When decorating for holidays, be representative of all religions holidays or do not decorate at all. DON'T: Tell offensive jokes One sure way to create a hostile work environment is to tell offensive or off-color jokes. Avoid telling racist, sexist or other offensive jokes, such as gay or blonde jokes.
NAEYC Codes of Ethics Core Values *Appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life. Appreciating childhood could affect teaching in the classroom because you would know how to teach them better. I think that you would also be able to come up with more developmentally appropriate activities for the children. *Base our work on knowledge of how children develop and learn. By basing knowledge on how children develop and learn, it can help make more developmentally appropriate activities.
