Care Sector Health and Safety Support
Wurkplace offers tailor-made and comprehensive Health & Safety solutions specially designed for care homes as well as other clients across the United Kingdom. We acknowledge and comprehend the distinctive obstacles that are faced by those in the care industry. Consequently, we strive to deliver cost-effective solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and compliance. As such, we guarantee to alleviate your major Health & Safety concerns efficiently, effectively and with great attention to detail.
- Report workplace incidents in care homes to comply with RIDDOR regulations. Incorrectly recorded reports are a criminal offense. Get assistance with RIDDOR forms from Wurkplace HR Consultants.
- Care homes must have enough Fire marshals/wardens on site to ensure safe evacuation during a fire. This is especially challenging when residents need help leaving. Our experts can create bespoke fire risk assessments and training to keep your care home safe.
- Reducing fall risk in care homes requires addressing factors like cleaning products, lighting, and obstructions. Residents' vulnerability due to mobility difficulties, medications, poor eyesight, and hearing requires measures for staff, visitors, and residents. Our tailored risk assessments & staff training address slips, trips, & falls.

Care Sector HR Support
Wurkplace is dedicated to providing exceptional outsourced HR services to the UK care sector, all tailored to meet the specific needs of your care home. Our unwavering commitment to solving people-related issues allows you to direct your attention to the pressing matters within the industry. With that in mind, allow us to ask: What are the top three HR problems facing the care sector today?
Take a look at this guide on working conditions IN A CARE HOME HERE.
- Care homes have faced many challenges in recent years, particularly when it comes to finding and retaining qualified staff. Despite the difficult working conditions and lack of benefits that contribute to high turnover rates, Wurkplace has developed an online HR system and a team of consultants to help care homes attract and retain the best employees possible. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support for this vital industry and help ensure that care home residents receive the highest quality of care possible.
- Diversity is crucial for providing quality care to patients. It is worth noting that almost half of health and social care workers in London are from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities. Therefore, it is essential that HR professionals must address the cultural and language barriers that both workers and patients face. To assist care workers in dealing with these situations, our equality, diversity, and discrimination training is available.
- High-Stress Levels – Care workers face physical labor and emotional strain as they look after vulnerable individuals. This can lead to burnout and reduced quality of care. We offer stress management training and HR policy adjustments to help your staff manage stress and provide better care.
