In a blog on the Long-Term Living website, safety consultant Steve Wilder offers a list of potential occupational hazards to simplify a long-term care facility hazard assessment. Wilder suggested sharing the list with the facility's safety committees to use as a guide when performing the required ongoing safety assessments in all areas of the facility. "Provide training to employees that identifies the hazards, makes the employees aware of the potential outcomes and provides methods that the employee should use in performing his duties to minimize the risk," he said.
