PHYSICAL FACILITY, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHINGS: 11200 - CCLR s.17 - A licensee must ensure that children do not have access to any object or substance that may be hazardous to the health or safety of a child.
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): During the inspection licensing observed a purse located on the shelf in view of and within access to children.
Corrective Action(s): While the area in which the purse was located is designated for adults only the area is completely accessible by the children. As there is the potential for hazardous items contained within the purse items of this nature must be kept out of reach of children. This item was addressed during the inspection and moving forward the Manager will ensure all adult personal belongings are kept out of reach of children.
