1.2 Responsibilities For Management Of Health And Safety in Relation to Organizational Structure

There are various responsibilities of the NHS for the management of health and safety to structure. They are-

• Honesty with patients: In NHS they have proper information related to illness and other treatment failures.

Service providers have to carefully report the failure of treatment and they have to perform all activities honestly. This is crucial so that all patients can remain safe in the workplace (Nel and et. al., 2015). NHS Trust can create honest and ethical policies for patients as well as for employees. So this is the reason that they have created a strategy of dry mops.

• Dilemmas: There are different issues and problems which can hamper communication in the workplace. So company can evaluate different factors such as risk-benefit analysis and resource utilization as well as stakeholders. These are evaluated properly so that there is a proper transfer of communication-related to the workplace in the job. The company can identify various issues such as there are many accidents at the workplace. Hence NHS Trust can clearly communicate strategy to staff members so that there is no problem of interaction which can hamper other work. Hence trust can run smoothly and safely by using a dry mops strategy.
• Professional competence: It is the legal duty of service users that they have to provide efficient treatment to all patients. If they fail to provide good treatment then there can be the death of the service user or there can be a critical condition of the service user.

Health and safety are the duty of individual so that they can play their role in a sincere manner.

These executives investigate many issues and problems and thus they can easily solve all issues. They can investigate any place if they find that something wrong or illegal is being done. Thus as a result they can easily breach any rules by entering into any place. I myself has duty to inspect and evaluate all equipments so that I can easily replace faulty equipments. I can also evaluate and apply new techniques related to mopping so that there are no fluids on the floor. This can directly reduce accidents in the company.
