PSCA LTD is committed to providing a safe living environment for the service user's recovery and has a strict Health & Safety Policy a copy of which is available in the office on request. It shows the responsibilities we have to keep the resident's houses safe for them.
The guidelines help the service user to play their part in making this work in practice.
Electrical Equipment – Do not remove any plugs or covers from any electrical device such as kettles, washing machines, TVs etc.
Report to the Support Worker or other manager damaged wires or plugs.
Do not use electrical devices which will overload the wiring.
Immediately report any torn or damaged floor coverings to the service user's Support Worker and record it in the house “Maintenance Log Book”
Immediately report any water leaks or ingress to the service user's Support Worker and record it in the house “Maintenance Log Book”
Ensure that the service user record all incidents of equipment failing to work correctly in the log.
Remember to store the service user's food safely and hygienically. Check “sell buy” dates and the state of stores in the fridge and cupboards. Make sure that the service user's food does not contaminate that of the other residents.
Don’t leave dirty clothes in common areas or wet things in washing machines; dirty dishes or pots in the kitchen. Dry up after washing up and stop germs spreading.
If the service users are Hep C positive or have concerns about housemates who are, consult the guidelines on dealing with “blood spills” and discuss this issue with the service user's Support Worker or the Support Services Manager.
By using the guidelines the service user will not be at risk or put others in that position.
