Nursing home and day care institution services are of great value to everyone. As such,
owners of these establishments are highly reliant on their staff, particularly the caregivers,
for the delivery of safe, efficient and responsive service. It is, therefore, the responsibility of
the management to ensure a safe and healthy work environment. Every caregiver, on the
other hand, should also take part in determining the hazards and risks in the workplace in the
attainment of a conducive organizational climate within the nursing home or day care he/she
is working for.
A caregiver has to have a sense of duty for her own health and safety at work.
He/She has the responsibility, therefore, to follow safety instructions in the workplace. In
addition, he/she has to use tools, equipment and paraphernalia with care. When hazards or
injuries happen, the caregiver must report the same to the person in charge or directly to the
immediate supervisor. Although a health worker’s concern primarily focuses on his/her
safety, he/she has to take all reasonable care not to put other people at risk. After all, a
caregiver gives care not only to the client but also to co-workers, supervisors, and the people
within the working environment.
Hazard is anything that may cause harm to an individual, such as chemicals, electricity, open
drawers, and inadequate ventilation.

Risk is the possibility that somebody could be harmed by these and other hazards and the
indication of how serious the harm can be.
