Standard 8VAC20-780-280-B
Hazardous substances must in a locked place that prevents access by children. In the community room, where school-age children were in care, bleach and several other cleaning solutions were in an unlocked cabinet within reach of children.
Plan of Correction: To ensure compliance with safety regulations regarding locked cabinets and the secure storage of hazardous substances, we have incorporated these requirements into the Site Directors' pre-program checklist. Site Directors will verify that all cabinets are locked and that hazardous materials remain out of reach of school-aged students before the start of each program. Additionally, for cabinets without built-in locks, such as those under the kitchen sink, we will purchase and install safety locks to prevent unauthorized access and ensure a safe environment for all participants. The checklist will be emailed to the Senior Director.
Standard 8VAC20-780-550-E
Shelter in place procedures shall be practiced a minimum of twice per year. There was one shelter-in-place drill practiced in 2024.
Plan of Correction: To ensure compliance with the requirement of conducting two shelter-in-place drills annually, the Site Director will perform these drills during both the summer and spring break camps. The Site Director will document each drill by writing it on the board and will also provide confirmation of completion by emailing the Senior Director. This process will ensure accountability and adherence to safety protocols.
