The city's wording
Within 3 months of hire all staff trained in emergency procedures in the Written Safety Plan. Training include loss of child response, lockdown, gas, electrical, sewer or water main break and extreme weather
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
What is the plan if a child goes missing or there is an emergency, and are all staff trained in it?
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.
