Each service user within your home must have risk assessments within their care plan.
CSM can devise/advise on the appropriate information required for a suitable and sufficient risk assessment.
Risk Assessments are required for subjects like : Fire Evacuation, Individual Service User Fire Risk Assessments,
What is risk assessment?
A risk assessment seeks to answer four simple, related questions:
Is there a need for action?
How bad?
How often?
What can go wrong?
It is not usually possible to eliminate all risks but care staff have a duty to protect service users as far as ‘reasonably practicable’. This means you must avoid any unnecessary risk.
In risk assessment we look at:
• hazards – which are situations with the potential to cause harm; and
• risks – which are defined as the probability that a specific adverse event will occur in a specific time period or as a result of a specific situation.
– Risk is the combination of likelihood and consequence of a hazard being realised.
Decide whether it is significant and whether it is appropriate and sufficient controls or contingencies are in place to ensure that the risk is properly controlled.
At CSM we can give you the peace of mind that all possible risks or hazards are addressed (where practicable)in a suitable professional manner.
