Introduction:

Nursing home and day care institution services are of great value to everyone. As such,
owners of these establishments are highly reliant on their staff, particularly the caregivers,
for the delivery of safe, efficient and responsive service. It is, therefore, the responsibility
of the management to ensure a safe and healthy work environment. Every caregiver, on
the other hand, should also take part in determining the hazards and risks in the
workplace in the attainment of a conducive organizational climate within the nursing
home or day care he/she is working for.
