27. Fire Drills/Emergency Preparedness FDCH/LFCCH Handbook, Section 7.21 & 7.22 (27-03)
The written record of fire drills was missing the following: [ date & time of the drill]. FDCH/LFCCH Handbook, Section 7.21, D Health Requirements [SR] Comments: During the routine inspection the licensing specialist observed that the provider was missing dates and times of the fire drill. According to the DCF FDCH/LFCCH Handbook Section 7.21 D A current attendance record and parent/guardian contact information must accompany childcare personnel out of the home during a drill or actual evacuation and be used to account for all children. The operator must maintain a written record of the fire drills showing the date, number of children and childcare personnel in attendance, evacuation route used, and time taken for all individuals to evacuate the premises. Each fire drill record must be maintained for a minimum of 12 months from the date of the fire drill. The fire drills conducted must include, at a minimum: 1. One fire drill during the established napping/sleeping times, 2. One fire drill using an alternate evacuation route, and 3. One fire drill in the presence and at the request of the licensing authority in coordination with the operator or designee. Compliance Comments There are three common modes of transmission for the spread of microorganisms in child care settings: contact, droplet, and airborne. Many common infections encountered in the child care setting are transmitted by direct or indirect contact. Child care providers shall develop a written exposure plan regarding universal safety precautions, recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to follow in the event there is exposure to blood and potentially infectious fluids. Personnel are required to be educated on the homes exposure plan regarding standard precautions before beginning to work and annually thereafter. Written documentation that childcare personnel have participated in the homes annual refresher education for the exposure plan and understand the proper procedures in the event there is exposure to blood, and potentially infectious fluids must be retained for 12 months and be available for licensing to review.
