Working Environment: Working in a hospital creates a unique work environment of both confidentiality and hospitality.

This is the residents’ home and as such requires an additional level of attention to detail from all staff. An interaction with staff, patients and patients families also occurs on a daily basis. During normal management duties the environment is indoor climate controlled. During maintenance duties the environment can vary from normal climate to very hot or very cold (even when indoors). There are some areas of high noise and unpleasant odors. Hazards vary but are usually associated with the use of tools and equipment used for maintenance or mobile equipment used for grounds maintenance. There are a multitude of errors to be made in any position that has daily tasks. The most serious are associated with two areas. First is the possibility that an employee is assigned to a job that they are not familiar with associated hazards and the employee is injured. The other is making mistakes during the Life Safety checks. If the checks, tests, and maintenance are not conducted properly it may result in patients, visitors, and staff being in danger and well as regulatory violations. Regularly used equipment includes computer and associated software for management duties and research. Hand tools, power tools, and equipment are used the rest of time.
