Keeping children safe from harm is an important job. Think of all the ways children could potentially be injured: from burns, objects falling, entrapments, falls, weapons, loud noises, tripping, pinches, punctures, crushing injuries, cuts, etc. Your role is to remove as many hazards as possible, exposing them to as few risks as possible. The Washington State Laws, or WACs, have outlined some of these risks and have prescribed ways licensed programs must meet with safety standards.
You should be aware of the requirements for the following:
Locks Working telephone Screens and windows Safe water and water play Fences and playground surfaces Ventilation and temperature requirements Animals, fish or pets Exits, Stairs, and Decks Shelving and portable furniture Radon, chemicals, lead and arsenic exposure Electrical outlets Shielded light bulbs Glass doors and windows

We insure that carpets are free of rips or things that could cause the children to trip over. Insuring that we are having appropriate child to student ratios for toddlers it 7 kids to 1 adult, 10 kids to 1 adult.

Some of the safety standards required by licensing regulations: Maintain the building, equipment and premises in a safe manner that protects the children from injury hazards. Maintain on the premises adequate first aid supplies conforming to your center’s first aid policies and procedures. At all times, at least one staff member per group of children must have current first aid and age appropriate CPR training. Implement a method to monitor all entrance and exit doors to prevent children from exiting the buildings unsupervised. Have extra clothing available for the children who wet or soil their clothes. Conduct monthly emergency drills. Sanitize with appropriately concentrated leach solution.

-Make sure any caret that does not extend all the way to a wall is a tripping hazard. Make sure all carpet is free of rips, holes or exposed seams. Secure edges in walking area to floor with plastic carpet strip or cover with rubber mat.
-IN an infant room you should have a no shoe policy and provide covers for shoes.
-Use the approved bleach solution for sanitizing toys, anywhere food is eaten or prepared, changing tables, and crib mattresses.
