A RADNORSHIRE care home has been ordered to pay more than £35,000 after an 88-year-old resident repeatedly got her leg stuck in a bed safety rail. Merthyr Tydfil Magistrates’ Court heard how Barbara Humphreys, a resident of Crosfield House in Rhayader, had to receive treatment after her leg was repeatedly trapped between her mattress and the bed rail, becoming discoloured and cold to the touch. An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) into the incident found that there was a lack of training and guidance on how to complete a bed rail assessment. Employees at the home had not received any training on the safe use of bed rails and were unaware of the risks from bed rail entrapment. It also found that, despite Mrs Humphreys’ leg becoming repeatedly trapped on separate occasions between September and November 2018, no review on the use of bed rails was carried out.
