Five potentially hazardous situation or safety threats that I came up with for my age group.

   First, when you are playing with toys at home or at the daycare center, please let’s teach them to clean up behind themselves. To prevent any injuries from happening, clean up toys and put them back in them back in the right place and containers where they belong. So that our guest would not step on them as they walk around the classroom, even someone might slip and fall and fall on the toys and get hurt us. We should keep our things off the floor to prevent accidents or injuries from occurring. Parents should make sure that they have a safe place so they can store their toys when they are finish playing with them at home.

   Second, safety hazard is making sure that all medicine and all cleaning products are locked up, and put away. So that children cannot get in to the products. It is very dangerous to leave any medicine or cleaning solution down, because children can think that it may be juice or milk because of its color. Parents should always have a safe place and storage to lock up the cleaning supplies and medicine products.

Playing on the playground is something that you have to observed when it is time to take your children on the playground, you must scan the playground to make sure that it is free from derby like falling tree branches, leaves, sticks, even glass,  and ant piles. So us being educators and care givers must check the playground and make sure that it is safe. Even if we as parents are home we must make sure that the yard is clear of trash.

When working at a preschool as a teacher we have to make sure that our classroom is safe and free from hazardous things.  That is why we must make sure that all of the plugs have safety plugs in them. Just in case an accident happens, a child cannot come and stick something in the plug socket. The child might get hurt by stricken something in the socket. It’s good to have safety plugs around the house so if you misplace them you will always have a spare.

When working as a caregiver, it is best to make sure that you have updated information on each child. Make sure you know Childs’ medical history, if they have any allergies. When parents bring their child lunch make sure that the food is not a choking hazard, like hotdogs, raisins, peanuts etc. Make sure that each parent has copy of the policy that talks about the center and the do’s and don’t of the center.
