It is important to manage all aspects of health and safety with precision; accidents happen in seemingly the most innocent of situations, whilst the health of Service Users may be compromised by failing to put adequate procedures in place. This is why it is essential to implement the right health and safety systems and policies. This need is even more acute for care homes and domiciliary care providers.
