Anyway, I'm off to pack tomorrow's healthy snacks.
Goodnight ProPlus - you guys do an awesome job, and one that is rarely appreciated. Don't take personally any of my comments !
Cheers Jimmie! A lot of us do a shit job though! That's why I get angry with them and the people who think they're representative of the profession!
I take too many things too personally!
I don't understand your logic Jimmie.
Fire escapes are there for staff and residents alike to leave the building and esacpe harm. If they're well maintained and kept clear they can be used. If they're not then they will be hazardous and could threaten health and life.
How do you know they're safe? By checking them.
What if there's a small fire in the kitchen? Say some hot oil. But the fire extinguisher hasn't been checked. It's either the wrong one or doesn't work. Again, this can be dangerous. How can it be avoided? By checking it.
And yes, I don't actually run a home just yet but plan to in the ear future and when I do all of my staff will be trained in fire safety. The same as all care staff should be.
Sorry ProPlus, I totally agree. I'm not having a go. I just dislike this assumption that just because it's been crossed off on a checklist, everything will be fine.
Completed checklists are only useful for covering managements' fat arses
What would your solution be then if not a checklist?
In an ideal world, it would be the development of a 'safety culture' whereby staff give health and safety absolute priority, above any other thing, in any task that they do.
It would be automatic, the reasons for its importance clearly understood and agreed by staff and management
Health and safety first
Customer service second
Financial considerations third
