A poor environment can make physiotherapy work uncomfortable, stressful and even unsafe. But there are things you can do. This section looks at some of the common problems.
Temperature
Working at a reasonable temperature is important not only for your comfort but also your health and safety.
Ventilation and infection control
Your employer must provide sufficient fresh or purified air to your workplace. Find out what to do if adequate ventilation isn't in place.
Inadequate work spaces and welfare facilities
Cramped spaces, inadequate equipment and lack of welfare facilities can all impact on your wellbeing as well as your health and safety.
Building maintenance
Hazards such as RAAC and asbestos must be appropriately maintained, so learn how to address this with your employer.
