Discuss five safety measures suitable for ECDE teacher work

Answers

-All materials should meet the standards of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
To protect against falls, stairways, windows, and elevated surfaces should meet the American Society for Testing and Materials
Children should be protected from electrical outlets with specially designed outlets or safety caps.
Electrical cords should not be within reach of children.
Emergency phone numbers need to be posted near each telephone (poison control, fire department, emergency contact numbers for parents and others, and the child’s doctor).
Make sure there are adequate fall surfaces under both indoor and outdoor equipment and that toys are not left in fall zones. Continually examine the environment for tripping hazards.
To prevent poisoning, make sure all cleaning supplies and medications are in locked cupboards, there are no poisonous plants on the premises, and that children do not have access to purses or offices where adults might store personal medication.
Toys need to be safe by being age and developmentally appropriate for the group. For example, all toys for infants and toddlers or children who are still mouthing toys need to be choke resistant. They also need to be lead free and nontoxic. Finally, one must examine toys to make sure that they cannot lead to strangulation.
Buckets and tubs containing water need to be closely supervised and emptied when not in use since small amounts of water can be a drowning hazard for young children.
All equipment, including railings on stairs, need to be examined for possible strangulation risk. Window blind cords and drawstrings on children’s clothing can also create safety issues.
-A daily safety check and maintenance is critical to keep equipment and the child’s environment safe.
Children need to be safe from other children who are aggressive. See Chapter for more information on this subject.
