The city's wording
Teaching and supervisory staff trained in infection control, reporting of infectious diseases, administration of medication, handling/storage of hazardous materials, general safety, and transportation. New staff trained within 3 months of hire
This is the text DOHMH or the state attaches to the citation. It is a template, so it can sound harsher or vaguer than the finding behind it.
Worth asking the center
Who is trained to give medication, and when were they last trained?
Reading it on a record
Look at whether the citation is marked open or corrected, how long ago it was cited, and whether the same section shows up on several inspections. One corrected citation is common. The same one on visit after visit is worth a direct question. Our guide to checking a daycare and methodology explain the rest.
