| Summary |
The
Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecution
followed an incident on 7 February 2001 in which
an 85 year old resident, Mrs Violet Frith, sustained
serious burns to her legs whilst she was sleeping
in her bed at Beaconsfield House Nursing Home.
The burns arose from contact with the hot surface
of a radiator, which was located next to the bed.
Mrs Frith contracted a wound infection and died
on 04 March 2001. After the hearing, HSE investigating
inspector Stephen Hartley said :"This sad
incident could have been easily prevented. Care
homes and hospitals should be well aware of the
risk that hot radiators and pipework present to
vulnerable, elderly people."This case serves
to remind Directors of the need to ensure that
their organisations manage risks to health and
safety effectively." |
