Health and Safety at workplace is an essential subject which provides an understanding

stakeholders of the organization. The present research revolves around the health and safety at
North Staffordshire trust. The hospital is unable to maintain and comply by the legislation of the
said country (Drummond and et.al., 2015). Therefore, it has currently reported several accidents,
injuries, dangerous disease. In order to prevent the enlisted loopholes, the director of the said
health facility communicates varied new policies and procedures to its care practitioners which
includes nurses, doctors, physiotherapist, etc. Some of the systems incorporated by the firm have
been enlisted hereunder:
 All the basic policies regarding health and Safety act shall be demonstrated to all the
service users in the meeting and at times of induction (Excellence, 2013).

 A committee board is also been setup so as to assure that all the working equipments at
the trust are in align with the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulation Act
1992. Moreover, they are entitled to undertake several activities and decisions to protect
the interest of its service users.
 Instructions are being printed and pasted at different corners of the hospital so as to
enlighten the general practitioners and patients about the relative danger at current place
or to maintain silence where necessary such as beside the ICU sectors. This will assist the
company in maintaining and complying by the laws of Control Noise at Work Regulation
Act 2005 (Grol and et.al., 2013). The directors also aims to introduce and comply by The Factories Act 1961 which
advises to make precautionary actions to promote safety at the hospital (Magill and et.al.,
2014). In addition to it lift operations and lifting equipments is also successfully
introduced in the building. This can be easily communicated by printing instructions in
the lifts or by appointing a lift operator so as to ensure that it is used properly by the
people.
