Posted By Simon Carrier Good afternoon I have been asked to carry out a workplace inspection of a health centre and was going to base it around the requirements of the Workplace regs. Should I be taking into account other requirements specifically I am thinking about NHS requirements, does anyone know of any such requirements? Any advice or suggestions gratefully accepted. regards

Posted By Simon Carrier Thanks Chris I have a workplace inspection aide that covers COSHH and the other "normal" items I would expect to find in a workplace. I have been reading through a few documents on GP surgeries and Healthcare Managers guides wanting to identify the additional requirements specific to Health Centres. I have picked up on Clinical wastes drug security and I understand that they should have in place procedures for infection control. My remit is to carry out some DSE and Treatment room assessments, DSE not a problem just needed to understand some of the issues with treatment rooms. If you have any info you think would be useful I would be grateful regards

Posted By J Knight If your RA includes any aspects of fire you should refer to NHS Firecode, especially the drafts of HTM 05-01 and 05-02 as these explicitly refer to Health Centres. Not just liquid nitrogen but a range of medical gases might be involved. Site security esppecially regarding controlled drugs, John
