Regulation: 3270.31(f) Description: Health and Safety Training Noncompliance Area: As of the inspection on 12/10/24, staff persons #5, #7 and #8 did not complete Pediatric First Aid/CPR training by a PQAS approved instructor within 90 days of hire. This is evidenced by the Pediatric First Aid/CPR training dates of 4/12/23, 10/22/24 and 10/22/24, respectively (see LIS code sheet for date of hire). Correction Required: Staff persons shall complete professional development within 90 days of hire as listed in subsections (f)10. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Corrections were made prior to inspection. Understand now that the training needs to happen within 90 days of hire, and not that we have a 3 month window which in turn caused 2 of our staff to be a few days late on the training. The 3rd staff person was missed because it was a seasonal hire that stayed past the summer and I didn't realize originally that her window had passed. We set up a training as soon as I realized it. |

|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Correction was made prior to inspection. Now understand that the background checks have to be to the exact date or before. I was under the impression that if one lapsed in the month of Sept, as long as the clearance was dated for the same month of Sept it would be sufficient. I will also submit them early enough to have plenty of time for them to come back so we do not encounter any delays. |
