Correction of Workbook 2 question

Post by Silbrown » Sun May 08, 2016 1:25 pm

Hello I have this question which I though was very complete but the assesor come back with this Note : You havent mention all requirements to storage of these products . What else do you need to considere? I really dont have a clue I re read setion 4 and I am lost this is the question and this is the answer TIA-


How should potentially poisonous products, including medications be stored within Children’s Services to safeguard children’s health and safety?

Medications

Store medicines immediately after they have been bought. Keep them out of reach and out of sight

of your child, in a cabinet or cupboard1,5 mts above the ground.

While medicines and other products are in use never leave them in reach of a child, not even for

a minute or two.Do not confuse your child by referring to

medicines as ‘lollies’; they may sometimes look the same in shape, size and colour. Resist

the temptation to use medicine dispensers, such as measuring cups, as toys.

Check the correct medication and dosage with your doctor or pharmacist and carefully read the

label. More than the recommended dose may be harmful.

Dispose of unwanted and out-of-date medicines and chemicals safely by returning them to the

pharmacy.

Refrigerators are not a safe storage location.When it is necessary to store medicines in the fridge, store in a small locked medicine box.



Children tend to imitate adults, so avoid taking medicines in their presence.

Avoid giving non-prescription medications routinely without consulting a doctor or

pharmacist.

Handbags are not a safe storage location, visitors bags might contain medicine, Always keep them put of their reach.

Household products:



Consider alternative cleaning products, for example a mixture of vinegar and bicarbonate

of soda will effectively clean most surfaces.

Store dangerous products in a high cupboard with a child resistant lock.

Leave chemicals in their original containers,

do not use drink bottles.

Store food separately from cleaning products and chemicals.

Choose containers with child resistant closures.

Lock garden sheds and garages.



Dishwashing machine

Buy dishwashing powder or liquid in child resistant containers. They are corrosive and

can severely burn if swallowed.

Put detergent in the machine last and close the door immediately.

Keep children away while adding detergent to the machine.

When emptying the machine, check for leftover powder or liquid.

Choose a dishwasher with a child resistant lock or purchase an adhesive lock to prevent access by toddlers-

Plants

Remove all poisonous plants from your garden.

If you are unsure of the correct names of the plants you have in your garden, take a small

piece to your local nursery for identification.
