Risk and overload notification?

Mrs A works as a cleaner in an intensive care unit. Due to the long-term illness of a colleague and because other colleagues are on holiday or ill themselves, she has been assigned more work than she can manage for months.

She has often asked her line manager to remedy the situation, but she says that she has "no budget".

Mrs A is worried because she can only manage the bare minimum in the limited time available and fears that she will no longer be able to work hygienically.

Mr B works in housekeeping. Due to the long-term illness of a colleague and because other colleagues are on holiday and ill themselves, he has been assigned more work than he can manage for months.

He is afraid of forgetting assignments and has already had two accidents at work due to the lack of time.

A discussion with his foreman in which he expressed his fears was unfortunately unsuccessful.

Mrs C works in the scullery. Due to constant pressure from her superiors, she and her colleagues have to do their work faster and faster.

In addition, she and her colleagues are constantly being asked to do other tasks.

The colleague speaks to her line manager several times because she can no longer cope with the bad situation. The line manager is sympathetic, but still nothing changes.

Mrs D works at the reception desk. Due to reorganisation measures in the hospital, she is assigned to take over outpatient admissions, emergency admissions, transfers and many patient-related administrative tasks with immediate effect. The colleagues who finish their shift before her have to tell her that the colleague who was supposed to work with her today has called in sick.

Mrs D has never had an admission before and fears that she is making mistakes. As she also has to do the entire gate service alone today, she is afraid that she will forget important orders and telephone calls or not be able to deal with them at all.

She speaks to her line manager, as this is not the first time this situation has occurred and she had already discussed solutions with her before.

The line manager brushes her off by saying "everything went well last time" and tells her that she doesn't have time for her now.

Mrs F works in a cafeteria. She currently has major personal problems. Her child is seriously ill and her husband has moved out of the flat they share and wants a divorce. Because she has these problems, she is sometimes unfocussed and makes small mistakes. But she doesn't want to attract attention and bother others with her private problems.

Due to the renovation of a nearby cafeteria, all her colleagues have had a lot more customers than usual for a long time and can hardly keep up with their work.

Mrs F once overheard another colleague complaining to the foreman that the work was barely getting done. And the holiday season was just around the corner!

She approached her colleagues about the conversation, learnt that almost all of them had already complained and together they wrote a work overload report.

Ms X works in the sterilisation department. Due to an increased number of operations and absences due to illness and holidays, she has been struggling with extra work and work intensification in her department for a long time, especially when she is deployed on the unclean side.

Due to the increased pressure, Mrs X is afraid of making mistakes when reprocessing, clearing the multi-storey washer-disinfector trolleys, distributing the instruments to the department tables and packing the instruments herself. Furthermore, she has to postpone tasks that she also carries out, such as checking the stock of goods, for a long time.

She has already complained about these circumstances several times to her department manager and also raised them during the discussion about her performance bonus.

Together with her colleagues in the department, Ms X writes a work overload report.
