Southern Seven HS/EHS Service Area: Safety Procedure: Incident Reporting System References: Once immediate medical care has been provided and the contact of the child’s parent(s) or the stated emergency contact person has been made necessary reporting of the incident must take the following steps: 1. Complete the incident form. Follow instructions as listed on form.

• Level 1 – incident report form is to be mailed to the Early Childhood Director at the Administrative Office.

• Level 2 or 3 – Immediate telephone contact must be made with the Administrative Office. Contact the Early Childhood Director first and then the Health/Nutrition Specialist. If you cannot reach the Early Childhood Director or the Health/Nutrition Specialist, contact the Human Resource Administrator or the Early Childhood Administrator. Leaving a voice-mail message is NOT appropriate. You must speak directly with someone. a. Incident Report Form is to be immediately faxed to the Administrative Office. b. Administrative Office Staff are to report the incident immediately by phone to the

DCFS Licensing Representative and follow-up in 24 hours with a written incident report. DCFS Office, 2309 West Main, Suite 108, Marion, IL 62959, Phone: (618) 993-7057; Fax: (618) 993-5467.

Southern Seven HS/EHS Service Area: Safety Procedure: Employee Personal Safety References: A very important part of being an employee at Southern Seven Head Start/Early Head Start is interacting with the children. If not aware of their own physical limitations and surroundings, employees could place themselves in harms way. It is pertinent that we do not change the way we play and interact with our children. However, all employees should maintain an awareness of his/her surroundings and the consequences of misuse of equipment. It is important that all staff be aware of the following:

1. Our playground and classroom equipment is designed for children ages 3-5. Be aware of size and age limitations of all equipment.

2. KNOW YOUR OWN LIMITS. Only you know what you are physically able

to do or not do.

3. Finally, be aware that insurance and/or worker’s compensation may reject claims for injuries sustained by employees through use of equipment not designed for adults.

Southern Seven HS/EHS Service Area: Safety Procedure: Pest Control References: Structural Pest Control Act (225 ILCS 235) is designed to cover indoor pesticide applications in schools. Public Act 91-0525 requires that public schools:

• Establish an Integrated Pest Management program, which incorporates the guidelines developed by IDPH by August 1, 2000.

• Appoint a school employee to oversee pest management operations and record keeping.

• Before a child is enrolled the daycare center shall provide summary of its pest management plan and uses of pesticides to the child’s parents or guardians.

• Establish parent/guardian notification procedures regarding the pesticide application schedule, providing notification at least two business, but not greater than 30, days prior to application.

IDCFS licensing regulations (407.370m,n) requires that licensed daycare center:

• The spraying of pesticides by a licensed pest control operator under the direct observation of a staff member to insure that residue is not left in areas accessible to children.

• Spraying shall be done while there are no children present in the facility. Southern Seven Head Start Procedure as follows:

1. The Early Childhood Director will schedule an appropriate time for

pesticide application with licensed pest control operator at a time when children are not present. Children are required to be kept out of treated areas for at least two hours after the application. Pesticide application will be conducted on Saturdays at Anna, Cairo, Mounds, Rustic, and Vienna Head Start Centers. Brookport, Egyptian, Goreville, Hardin, Jonesboro, Metropolis, and Pope County Centers are located in Public Schools and are governed by that School Districts pesticide policies. All storage buildings are sprayed at a minimum of twice a year.

2. The Site Supervisor, or designee, is the official contact person for any family’s questions regarding the pest control application process.

3. Parents will be notified of scheduled pesticide treatments through the monthly newsletters. The schedule will also be posted on the Safety Board. In the Parent Handbook, parents are notified of the pest control policy prior to their child’s enrollment.

4. A copy of the receipt is to be kept in the Safety Awards Binder. The original receipt is to be sent to the Account Systems Coordinator.

Southern Seven HS/EHS Service Area: Safety Procedure: Cleaning the Center References: The following standards shall be followed in order to comply with DCFS regulations and to reduce the risk of illness: 1. Carpet areas shall be vacuumed daily. 2. Tables and chairs shall be wiped off daily with bleach water. Other toys, table

tops, furniture, and other similar equipment used by the children shall be washed and disinfected when soiled or contaminated with matter such as food, body secretions or excrement.

3. Dress-Up clothes and machine washable cloth toys shall be machine washed in

the center or Laundromat at least weekly and/or when contaminated. 4. Other toys such as manipulatives, blocks, trucks, puzzles, and other hard surface

toys shall be cleaned with bleach water monthly. 5. Each child’s locker or cubby shall be washed with bleach water weekly. 6. Mats or cots used by children should be wiped off with bleach water weekly and

air dried before stacking. If a child has been ill, the cot must be sanitized before it can be used again.

7. Water tables and toys used in water tables shall be emptied daily and cleaned

with a mild germicidal solution before being air-dried. Children and staff shall wash their hands before and after using the water table.

8. Toys and equipment that are placed in children’s mouths or are otherwise

contaminated by body secretions or excretions shall be set aside to be cleaned with water and detergent, rinsed, sanitized and air-dried before handling by another child.

9. Linens are to be washed daily. If head lice or other illness is occurring frequently in the center, more cleaning may be necessary. All major cleaning shall be done when children are NOT present. Bleach water is 1 part bleach to 10 parts water.

Southern Seven HS/EHS Service Area: Safety Procedure: Maintaining Equipment, Toys, and Supplies References: It is the responsibility of ALL Site Staff to maintain equipment and supplies in a CLEAN and SAFE condition.

1. Staff must regularly clean toys and equipment and watch for dangerous items. Children can

be involved in this process if toys are added to a sensory table/soap and water experience.

2. Items that need repair should be fixed as soon as the problem is noticed. With a little preventative maintenance, equipment will last a long time – (If we don’t need to spend money on replacing expensive equipment, there will be more money to spend on new toys and more supplies.)

3. Children learn best when they are able to choose toys that are easily accessible with no missing pieces. Toys should be sorted into complete sets or by type of toy. For instance, small Lego pieces should be kept separate from large Lego pieces and blocks should be placed on shelves by size/shape rather than dumped into a storage bin.

4. It is important that children are involved in daily clean up routines. This is most likely to be a successful experience when children take out only the toys that they are using rather than dumping all the toys out at one time. Remember all children practice important cognitive skills when they sort items.

5. When inventorying at the end of the year, use the pre-printed inventory list of equipment. Delete items if they have been broken and discarded during the year (use DISCARD form). Add items to the inventory list as new equipment and toys are purchased through the year. Add to the inventory under the section (i.e. table toys/dramatic play area, books) so that the items can be easily located and added during inventory.

6. Staff are asked to identify items needed in the classroom. The priority is: • Items needed to meet licensing requirements or replace broken equipment. • Items that will enhance the educational experience for the children. • Items that we wish for even though there are sufficient materials available.

When looking for toys or equipment, don’t forget to look for donations from parents or purchases at yard sales. Be creative when looking for consumable materials for art projects. Remember that “in-kind” and “parent involvement” are also important to our program. Parents who are unable to donate time during the day may be able to repair items.
