Second Health and Safety Incident at Childcare Centre
A baby boy who is barley 12 months old was hurt when he came into contact with a hot drink cup at a Norfolk childcare facility, This is the same location where not long before a two year old had manage to wander out onto a busy road.
In this latest incident the bady had to be taken into hospital for treatment to deal with burns from the accident that occurred at the Cromer’s Sure Start children’s centre. As a direct result of this latest occurrence the owners felt they had to suspend two staff involved in the hot drink debacle.
County health and safety officials have visited the site and say they will be undertaking what they refer to as a “thorough review” of conditions at the centre. They will also be offering guidance to other similar establishments that are located on school grounds in the county.
The child is said to not be seriously injured and is recovering at home, but quite obviously two incidents within a short period will raise concerns among parents of little ones that make use of the centre.
It would perhaps have been wise in hindsight for the management to have undertaken a comprehensive health and safety training course such as the NEBOSH certificate course from Workplace Law Training.
