• Frayed cords- frayed cords can electrocute a child.
• Chemicals- children can drink them get chemical burns from then.
• Object stacked precariously that could full- object falling on children head can course damage
• Medications- medication a dangerous to a child it can cause them to end up in hospital
• Noisy machinery- hearing loss due to the loud noises
• Broken toys- can cut or hurt a child and cause more damage
• Stoves- a child can get burnt by a stove if it has been turn on.
• Sliding door- fingers can get caught
• Knifes- a child can cut them self, a child can stab them self or another person
• Forks- a child can stab them self or another person or poke someone eyes out
• Any sharp or point objects- stab them self or another person or poke someone eyes out
• Height off play equipment- can full off and get cut bruises or brake bones.
• Metal objects that have been in the sun- burnt or scalded
• Hard surfaces- if a child falls over they can get bruises
• Thing that protrude or tangle- kids can get tangled up in them and chock them self or strangle another kid with it.
• Lack of shade- to much sun can cause sun burn dehydration heat stroke
• Not applying sun safe stuff -to much sun can cause sun burn dehydration
• Not wearing a hat- sun burn dehydration, heat stroke
• Heater- a child can get burnt by the heater a heater can also cause fires
• Electrical out lets- children can put thing in there that r not meant for it and get electrocuted
• Cot accessories
• Fire- a child can get Burt, inhale to much smoke.

HOUSEKEEPING INSPECTION FORM
DATE INSPECTED: INSPECTED BY WHOM:
AREA/ROOM/OUTSIDE CHECK FOR: CORRECTIVE ACTION REQUIRED?
OUTSIDE • Fence off securely and effectively all sides of outdoor play areas from roads, water hazards, and driveways. Maintain fence, have correct height, install childproof self-locking devices on gates.

• Car driveways and parking areas – be aware that car driveways and areas where cars park or reverse are particularly hazardous areas for children. Ask families when alighting from their cars to hold their child’s hand, and take special care when entering or leaving a driveway or parking near the home.

• Sandpits - cover when not in use, regularly clean, rake, and remove sand soiled by faeces or blood. Hose sandpits at end of day after removing contaminated sand and material.
• Snakes, spiders, insects – keep the centre clean of infestations, teach children the dangers.

INDOOR SAFETY CHECK LIST
• Access for children and adults with disability - ensure safe access into, within and out of the centre, security, toilet and washing facilities, and check for hazards for wheelchairs and people with impaired sight, hearing or mobility.
• Barriers - age appropriate, child proof, self locking barriers to balconies, stairways, kitchen, bathroom, laundry, garage, other levels in the centre, front and back garden.

I'm really not sure why you are having to resubmit this assignment. The only questions which may not fave direct responses are the following from the interview:

d. What are the various roles and responsibilities during an evacuation?what actions are required of the Nominated Supervisor/Coordinator, delegated First Aid Officer, educators and other staff members at the service.

• That all staff for each room have there roles to check to make shore everyone is there and ok
• Evacuation kits (eg nappys wipes blanket)
• Make shore the kids are all ok if not comfort them

This response doesn't define what each member of staff has to do. It's just a general response. Like who is responsible for getting the evacuation kits, the roles etc.

How does the service ensure that educators, including relief educators and other staff members are informed about and understand the service’s emergency evacuation procedure?

• Practice there policy once a month to ensure that everyone no wat they are doing
• Online training
• Any changes to the procedure a memo will be made for all the staff members

Relief educators may not be able to attend training if they are only at the centre for 1 or 2 days. So, instead an evacuation folder should be made avaiable and be in the staff room for all staff to read and have access to. This should be updated when necessary.

Also it mentions: A brief report - have you done this?

These are the only points I can think of that may have been missed...

Hi Lorina,

I get bit trouble in HLTWHS001 regarding two scenario.

Scenario 1 Flooding
During the day a burst water pipe floods the outdoor play space. Children and staff are unable to access this area and parents will have limited access to the Education and Care service to collect children in the afternoon.
Question 1 :What service policy/procedure would you follow to guide your response to this situation ?

Scenario 2 Hazards
You have recently started working at a small Preschool and After School care service that operates out of a community hall. The building and playground is run down due to multiple users and limited funds. You have noticed some hazards that have the potential to harm the health and wellbeing of others. You have reported these on the daily safety checklist but also have some ideas to further minimise risks to others.

Question 1: What policy/procedure would you follow to guide your response to this situation?
Question 2: 2. What other workplace procedures could you participate in with the team to find solutions?

Please get me back as soon as possible. I am really trouble on it.

Thank you

[simran shripal]

hello Loria.
Good afternoon.
I am stucking in this two questions of care cluster.

4> Due to weather conditions children sometimes cannot access the outdoor environment. provide two examples of how educators ensure that children participate in active play whilst indoors.
5> Why is it important for educators to be gentle, calm and reassuring even when children strongly express distress, frustration or anger?

[Lorina]

4 - So the question is asking how children can still do physical play inside... what activities could you do... e.g. group games, dancing, parachute games etc.

5 - Think about how a child may feel when they are angry, do they understand their feelings, do they know how to control them?
