Higher concern: Hazardous access
Report finding
Cleaning supplies were stored under a sink cabinet without a safety latch in the infant room. The cleaning supplies observed were two cans of glass cleaner, two cans of Lysol disinfectant spray, a spray bottle of OdoBan disinfectant and three scrubbing brushes. This posed a safety hazard as the cleaning supplies were accessible to children. Note: This was addressed with the caregivers and all cleaning supplies were removed from under the sink cabinet and stored in an area inaccessible to children.
