Outline how legislation, policies and procedures relating to health, safety and security influence health and social care setting

local council or the Health and safety executive (HSE):A death or also a major InjuryA incident that leads towards someone being absent from work for at least 3 daysA reportable diseaseAn example of this would be that working with children a teacher had gotten hurt by falling down the stairs in the workplace. She was out of work for at least a week because she had broken her leg and she had a purple bruise growing.This is a influence towards the health care setting because they help people with injuries and because of this legislation this means that they can help people faster because they know what’s going on. The other influence in a health and social care setting is safety policies and this is a influence in a health and social care setting because a lot of hazards can happen in a health and social care setting because if a person does not follow the safety policy and there is danger, this could affect other people.Food Safety act 1990: The food and safety act 1990 stops people from giving out of dated food to people especially in a health and social care setting because health inspectors come to check if the food is good.An example of this would be that in school it Is lunch time and a inspection is being made to make sure that the food is fresh and not out of date.The food safety act is a influence in the health and social care setting because it makes sure that all the food is fresh and not out of date. It makes sure that the food provided is clean by making the lunch ladies wear hair nets and hand gloves to keep the food as fresh as possible. Data protection Act 1998: This legislation is to do with protection clients personal data whether it is on a paper or on electrical format, it should be kept confidential and the only person that should be allowed this information is the client themselves besides this it should be nobody else.  A example of this would be that a child who is starting the nursery and they are putting in all her information on the computer and they are putting a password on the computer so they make sure that no one is getting this information.This is a good influence because the data protection act stops people from going through other people’s personal data in a health and social care setting and it makes sure that nothing is revealed to anybody and not if the patient desires to tell anyone. The next one is good because it makes sure that the right medication is given towards the right patient as it can be very dangerous if the wrong type of medication is given towards the wrong patient.Fire Precautions (workplace regulations 1997):  The fire precautions towards a workplace needs them to be following these fire regulations and those are:They need to carry out and also monitor and review the fire risk assessment.They would also need to be able to plan for a emergencyAlso make sure that there are clear signs for a fire exit for people to seeMake sure that the fire exit is a clear pathway for people to exit clearly.This is just some of them but there are others were a work place would follow.A example of this would be that a fire bell has rang in the nursery because a fire has broke in the reception area and all the children are being taken outside to safety. All the children are waiting single file with their teacher to wait until the file is out. This is good in a health and social care setting because it is putting things into practice for the real thing and making sure that If the real thing happens then they know what to do and how to do it so this is a influence in a health and social care setting and by this it’s protecting people from any danger of fire. The policy of the mobile phone policy is a influence in a health and social care setting because it stops people in the health and social care setting to pay more attention towards the patient and not be distracted by there mobiles as this can be very dangerous
