Accommodating the general public and your staff safely in your establishment
Preventing malicious acts • Assess your establishment’s vulnerability to insecurity • Control the risks associated with malicious acts by drawing up your Establishment Safety Plan (ESP) • Obtain ISO 27 001 certification dedicated to information security management • Perform intrusion detection simulations on your IT systems
The health and social care sector faces numerous challenges which are governed by major scientific and societal developments. Tackling health risks, which have been increasing for several months now, is at the top of your list of priorities.
Controlling the risks associated with ionising environments
The intensity of the activity is impacting your staff. It is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit new staff and hold on to your current workforce. Motivating your staff and ensuring their well-being are the priority issues at stake. At the same time, staff training requirements are increasing.
Ensure the safety of your staff and patients when using equipment emitting ionising radiation: • Outsource mandatory regulatory controls to a radiation protection regulatory authority such as Apave • Have these checks carried out directly in-house by offering your staff training as a Radiation Protection Officer (RPO).
Maintaining your buildings and renovating or even transforming your wards and departments are particularly significant factors in the life-cycle of your establishment, along with the development of health care real estate, for example. Your establishment falls into one of the following categories: • Hospitals and clinics • Residential care facilities for the elderly (nursing homes, senior service residences, etc.) • Practices (radiology, dental, physiotherapist, veterinary, etc.) • Laboratories & pharmacies • Day nurseries • Home health care services
Offer your patients and your teams a quality medical imaging service based on the 10 commitments of the LABELIX label.
Apave supports you in controlling the health, human, technical, environmental and digital risks that you face.
