BELOW IS THE PERFORMANCE TASK I JUST NEED A SCRIPT AS PER ABOVE QUESTION PLEASE

Memo on The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has run a number of training, compliance assistance. and Hospitals

Mission :To ensure that employees work in a safe and healthful environment by setting and enforcing standards, and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance.

Safety (S) and health (H) programs help businesses:

Prevent workplace injuries and illnesses

Improve compliance with laws and regulations

Reduce costs, including significant reductions in workers' compensation premiums

Engage workers

Enhance their social responsibility goals

Increase productivity and enhance overall business operations

My selected Organisation : XYZ Hospital

Leading a Culture of Safety: A Blueprint for Success

A tool for chief executive officers (CEOs) and other leaders to assess and advance their organisation's culture of safety.

OSHA created a suite of resources to help hospitals assess workplace safety needs, implement safety and health management systems, and enhance their safe patient handling programs. Preventing worker injuries not only helps workersit also helps patients and will save resources for hospitals

Understanding the Problem : Hospitals are hazardous workplaces and face unique challenges that contribute to the risk of injury and illness.

Hospitals have serious hazardslifting and moving patients, needle sticks, slips, trips, and falls, and the potential for agitated or combative patients or visitorsalong with a dynamic, unpredictable environment and a unique culture. Caregivers ( Doctors / Nurses ) feel an ethical duty to "do no harm" to patients, and some will even put their own safety and health at risk to help a patient. ( During COVID 19 )

Hospital work can be surprisingly dangerous. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the likelihood of injury or illness resulting in days away from work is higher in hospitals than in construction and manufacturingtwo industries that are traditionally thought to be relatively hazardous.

Injuries and illnesses come at a high cost. When an employee gets hurt on the job, hospitals pay the price in many ways, including: Workers' compensation for lost wages and medical costs; temporary staffing, backfilling, and overtime when injured employees miss work; turnover costs when an injured employee quits; and decreased productivity and morale as employees become physically and emotionally fatigued.

Workplace safety also affects patient care. Manual lifting can injure caregivers and also put patients at risk of falls, fractures, bruises, and skin tears. Caregiver ( Doctors / Nurses) fatigue, injury, and stress are tied to a higher risk of medication errors and patient infections.

Safety & Health Management Systems:A safety and health management system can help build a culture of safety, reduce injuries, and save money.

One of the most effective ways to reduce workplace hazards and injuries is through a comprehensive, proactive safety and health management system. A safety and health management system (HMS) is a proactive, collaborative process to find and fix workplace hazards before employees are injured or become ill.

In hospitals, prioritising safety in the environment of care reaps important additional benefits through improved quality of patient care.

Leading hospitals have already effectively implemented these systems in a number of ways.

Safe Patient Handling : Safe patient handling programs, policies, and equipment can help cost-effectively reduce the biggest cause of workplace injuries.

Reducing injuries not only helps workers, but also will improve patient care and the bottom line.

If a hospital is considering developing a comprehensive safe patient handling program to protect workers and patients, having the right data, evidence, examples, and tools can help ensure success.

OSHA has developed a series of online resources to help managers to develop and implement safe patient handling assessments, policies, procedures, programs, training, and patient education in your hospital.

Preventing Workplace Violence : A comprehensive prevention program will help address the problem of workplace violence in healthcare facilities.

In fact, healthcare accounts for nearly as many serious violent injuries as all other industries combined.

Many more assaults or threats go unreported.

Workplace violence comes at a high cost; however, it can be prevented.

OSHA has compiled a suite of resources to help you build and implement a comprehensive workplace violence program in your healthcare facility.
