The foot is the furthest limb from the heart, therefore the heart and circulatory system has to work very hard to reach the foot and blood flow may be reduced. Any blood vessel, artery problems in the lower limbs will have a great effect on the body as the blood needs to flow back to heart against gravity using non-return valves. The foot will often be the first part of the body to show bad circulation and other problems in the body. Buy and wear correctly fitting shoes, inappropriate and ill-fitting shoes may cause bunions, corns, callus and in growing toenails. Leather shoes help the skin to breathe; preventing sweat from building up, as this can lead to fungal infections A healthy foot care routine is vital, washing and drying the feet thoroughly, wearing cotton socks.
| 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.
For example knees and elbow joints have limited movement and it is important to know how easy it is to these damage joints for example heaving people around a bed without using correct equipment or illegal lifting a person under their arms. When used correctly, hoists, turners and slide sheets are example of equipment which can be used to move and position individuals without having to cause injury. 1.2 There are many conditions that can have an impact on the correct moving and positioning of an individual such as: Arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, amputation, stroke, spinal injury and Cerebral palsy. Arthritis People will have stiff painful joints and will
• 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
It is of immense importance that individuals are correctly moved and positioned in a safe way following laws and legislations. Specific conditions may have an impact on the correct way to move and position an individual for instance following a stroke, an individual will often have weakness in a limb or the whole of one side of the body. Or in regards to a condition such as Parkinson’s disease, sufferers of Parkinson’s disease can experience limb rigidity, affecting normal movement and positioning. Never push these limbs further than its limits as it could damage the joint and cause discomfort and pain. As reaction times in sufferers of Parkinson’s disease are slower you should never rush them and always look for non-verbal signs of pain or discomfort as they may not be able to tell you.
SUBSTITUTION: There are other brands and types of box cutters on the market we have investigated and we believe the spring loaded retractable blade kind with safety cover would be the most affective. For packaging tape we have identified a different cutter can be used with a thin enclosed blade rather than the typical box cutter that can slip and still cause injury. There are big pieces of automatic box cutting machinery that can be used, however they are very expensive and we have determined this to be unreasonable, as unpacking boxes makes up a small part of daily tasks. ISOLATION: There is no need to isolate the knives or create a special unpacking controlled area. If stored properly the knife won’t harm you on its own.
If muscles are being used on a daily basis they will remain strong and firm (with exceptions of some diseases affecting them). While moving and repositioning anyone it is important to remember that most of the joints have limited abilities and trying to make them move outside of their range may cause a severe pain or serious damage to the skeletal or muscular system. Those take long time to heal and are very painful. In order to be able to move nerve fibres that go through the whole body send impulses from the Central Nervous System into the muscles that enable them to contract and relax. Poor moving and handling techniques may damage those fibres which would affect moving ability of a
It is definitely true that Applicant C meets the requirement for being a disabled person as he/she has a physical impairment that substantially limits a major life activity, which is walking in this case, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act. So in this Situation C we need to decide whether lowering the key pads to two elevator cars four inches is not a reasonable accommodation and if it would create undue hardship to Company X. Lowering the key pads four inches to two elevator cars would create some undue hardship to Company X, but true undue hardship depends on how much
Sprained ankles can require weeks to recover. Potential Hazard: Bad shoes Associated Risks: Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, torn muscles Control Measures: Good runners must be adapted to your way of running; they should be cushioned under the part of the foot that hits the ground. Running with Chucks is a bad idea because their soles are thin which causes more force to go up your leg as your foot hits the ground. The leg perceives this as repeated trauma to the muscles in the leg. This can cause MTSS or torn muscles.
I strongly believe in the health and safety at work act because, you’re putting young lives at risk. If you took it away the setting wouldn’t be safe. For example you might get staff members who are too lazy to fix the carpet which has come loss; therefore a child could fall and injure themselves. This then protects practice and practitioner from putting their setting at risk.
