The two security hazards that I have chosen are security systems and working practices.

Information that is held on the computers or PC is kept safe and secure and is locked with a password on and only staff that need access to information know the password to access the information and is protected under the Data protection act 2010 and also the filing cabinets must be kept locked, safe and secure.

Working practices are the jobs that you do when caring for people these can be things like moving or handling, preparing food, changing nappies or even giving injections despite the manual handling operations regulation 1999 many care workers are still suffering from
