Your Question?
Hi I have just joined and am hoping I have put this question in the right area. This is my question:- In order to reduce hazards, child care services carry out workplace inspections. Some happen daily and others more infrequently - list all the safety checklists you complete as part of your role and explain why they are important.

I need to answer this question, however, as I will not be starting employment until February, I am wanting to know of where I can find an example of a checklist ??
Thanks so much.

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I have googled my question and cannot find anything.

When you start working you will begin to realize how much paperwork we have to complete. It's pretty full on but I guess when you have to follow regulations we have no other choice. Here is a list of safety checklists you need to fill out:

Opening Checklist - Daily
Closing Checklist - Daily
Playground Safety Checklist - Daily
Room Cleaning Checklist - Daily
Toy Cleaning Checklist - Daily (or Weekly in Preschool Rooms)
Food Temperature Checklist - Daily (Kitchen)
Fridge Temperature Checklist - Daily (Kitchen)
Kitchen Cleaning Checklist – Daily (Kitchen)
Hazardous Material Checklist – Monthly
Fire Drill Safety Checklist – Monthly
OH&S Compliance Checklist – Monthly
First Aid Checklist – Monthly

Ok, these are all the ones I can think of from the top of my head… I think this is pretty much it.

Hope This Helps,

After posting the above, I remembered that I had replied to a similar question before. I did a quick search here and I found it. Here is the link:

How much do we need to show in the room?

Thank you so much for your response, there were a few that you mentioned that I had not included, and most of the information that I did give was from hands on experience, I can now go back to the question and fill in what I missed.
Many thanks again.
