Hi Curly,

Here is some info that should help you out with this assignment:

Dangerous Products

Poisonous and dangerous products such as cleaning products, garden and pest control, chemicals and sharp objects must be kept out of children's reach. Poisonous substances should be labelled clearly. Spiders and vermin can also cause a threat to children's health and safety and precautions should be taken to prevent or remove them from the environment.

Buildings and Grounds

The centre building and surrounds should be checked regularly to minimize risk to children. All areas within the childcare setting and objects (sandpit etc) should be checked often to ensure they are in good repair and free of hazards.

Equipment and Furniture

Children's play equipment and furniture should be carefully selected, installed, maintained to ensure it complies with appropriate regulations.

Supervision

Staff need to actively supervise children to identify risks and therefore minimize injury. Staff also need to pay particular attention to areas that pose a high risk to children (playground equipment). Effective supervision will minimize the risk of injuries as well as children's health and safety.

Hopefully with this info you are able to complete your assignment!

Hi there, Here is my response to this question - it might be helpful in the future for others searching at the last minute like me. :)

Be warned however, that the word limit on this question was 150 - 200 and I have cut it back as much as I can... and it's still WAY over. Based on the Regulations, this is what I came up with - no idea if it will answer the question right though.

Quality Area 2: Standards and Elements – Each child’s health is promoted; Healthy eating and Physical Activity is embedded in the program for children;
Health, hygiene and safe food practices - safe practices for handling, preparing and storing food.
Food and beverages - children must have access to safe drinking water at all times, and have food and drinks available throughout the day.
Sleep and rest - must take reasonable steps to ensure that children’s needs for sleep and rest are met.
Tobacco, drug and alcohol-free environment
Child protection - must ensure that all educators are aware of the current and relevant child protection law and understand their obligations under that law.
Incidents, injury, trauma and illness - must have in place policies and procedures in the event that a child is injured, becomes ill, or suffers a trauma.
Serious incidents - The National Law requires the Regulatory Authority to be notified of any serious incident at an Approved Service.
Infectious diseases - must take reasonable steps to prevent the spread of infectious diseases
at the service.
First aid kits – must be adequate in number, easily recognisable and readily accessible to adults.
Medical conditions - must have a policy for managing medical conditions
Administration of medication – Medication must not be administered to a child without authorisation by a parent or person with the authority to consent to administration of medical attention to the child.
Adequate supervision - All children must be adequately supervised at all times
Protection from harm and hazards - every reasonable precaution is taken to protect
children from harm and from any hazard likely to cause injury.
Emergency procedures - required to have policies and procedures which set out instructions
for what must be done in an emergency and to have an emergency and evacuation floor plan.
Collection of children - A child may only leave the education and care service premises under any of the following circumstances: a parent or authorised nominee collects the child; a parent or authorised nominee provides written authorisation for the child to leave the premises; a parent or authorised nominee provides written authorisation for the child to attend an excursion; the child requires medical, hospital or ambulance treatment, or there is another emergency.
Excursions - A risk assessment must be carried out for an excursion before permission is sought.
