The Sector website recently published a story on WorkSafe Victoria issuing an alert about the risks associated with glass panels breaking from child impact at childcare services. The text of the alert can be accessed on the Worksafe website.
It should be noted that approved providers have a general responsibility that the service is operated in a way that ensures the safety, health and wellbeing of
the children (section 51, National Law) as well as ensuring service premises and all equipment and furniture used in providing the education and care service are safe, clean and in good repair (regulation 103, National Regulations). In relation to Family Daycare Services, the requirements of regulation 117, National Regulations, also apply in relation to glazed areas.
