Skill #12: Adapt your action to unforeseen circumstances

 

In order to guarantee the quality of care and the safety of the beneficiaries, this sequence aims to make you aware of the importance of an appropriate posture in unusual or even emergency situations. As this skill only makes sense in a situation, the contents of the four levels propose to illustrate the posture to be adopted by examples of unforeseen situations encountered at home.

Thus, it is composed of four levels that progressively address elements related to hazard management, from the simple identification of a hazard or problem (level 1) to the adoption of a preventive attitude that avoids the occurrence of a difficulty (level 4).

Level 4 : « adopt a preventive stance with regard to the risks identified»
  • Anticipate the occurrence of a problem or difficulty.
  • Suggest and implement adjustments to improve the work environment before the difficulty occurs.
