To make it easier a Child Care Safety Checklist is available for Parents and Child Care Providers.
-- First make sure cribs meet current national safety standards and are in good condition.
-- Be sure that no pillows, soft bedding, or comforters are used when you put babies to sleep.
-- Look for safe surfacing on outdoor playgrounds.
This helps protect against injuries from falls, especially head injuries.
-- Check playground surfacing and equipment regularly to make sure they are maintained in good condition.
-- Be sure that safety gates are used to keep children away from potentially dangerous areas, especially stairs.
-- Be sure miniblinds and venetian blinds do not have looped cords.
-- Be sure there are no drawstrings around the hood and neck of children's outerwear clothing.
Drawstrings can catch on playground equipment and can strangle young children.
-- Check that no recalled products are being used and that a current list of recalled children's products is readily visible.
For more information about children's safety and recalls of children's toys and products, contact:
The C-P-S-C's toll-free hotline at 1-800-638-2772.
