Everyday, she is given tasks from checking cleaning solutions to updating allergy lists and forms throughout the center. She also conducts monthly drills, which she and someone from Center Management log and initial. Ms. Shaunna also participates in Health and Safety Conference calls with other Health and Safety Coordinators in the district and our District Manager. She provides ongoing training to other staff members on best practices and does frequent inspections inside and out of the facility. Once a month, we have staff meetings. During our staff meetings we discuss any new Health and Safety topics. We also update our Allergy and Food Restriction List once a month. We ask parents to update us of any new food allergies so that we can ensure our food allergy lists are correct at all times. Our center requires a code in order to enter.
