Health & Social Care Risk Management

Greencap understands the importance of appropriate risk management in Healthcare and Social Care settings. Effective controls and systems for people, property and environmental risk must be carried out effectively to uphold the ethos to “do no harm”.

For some organisations, a high duty of care is required, particularly for immuno-suppressed patients that are vulnerable to the negative effects of air contaminants such as dust and mould.

To meet the standards of accreditation and to comply with WHS regulations on large and complex projects, the following should be undertaken:

Assessment of air quality
Ergonomic assessments
Manual handling
Waste management
Asbestos and other hazardous materials
Contractor management

Equipping employees with the knowledge of emergency procedures and the provision of evacuation exercises and warden training with visible emergency diagrams are underpinning factors in the protection of the occupants, both patients and employees, in any facility.

Greencap assists clients with their compliance to safety legislation and advises on the most appropriate risk management solutions required, including:

Mandatory federal regulation
Existing and future policy
Legislation
Infrastructure requirements

For over 30 years, Greencap has built up a specialised capability by working with countless clients and partners in the health and social care industries, making it a leading risk management provider for hospitals, clinics, and other health-related facilities.
