Who is required to take the health and safety training?

All child care administrators and staff members shall complete the health and safety trainings within one year of employment. Staff members include: child care providers,  substitute providers, and uncompensated providers. Volunteers, as defined in this Rule (.0102), are not staff members. However, if they count in staff/child ratio or have direct caregiving responsibility, they must also meet this requirement. This requirement applies to the following facilities:

• All licensed child care centers

• All licensed family child care homes

• All N.C.G.S. 110-106 Religious Sponsored Programs operating with a Notice of Compliance and participating in the Subsidized Child CareAssistance Program

• All license exempt providers receiving CCDF funding

What is the timeframe for completing orientation and the health and safety trainings? Can health and safety trainings move with an employee if they seek employment elsewhere?

New staff will need to complete orientation within the first six weeks of employment and complete the health and safety trainings within their first year of employment. 

New staff may use health and safety trainings, received prior to their employment, so long as the training received has been completed within the last 12 months.

Health and safety trainings must be renewed every five (5) years as part of on-going training. Documentation of completion of the health and safety training is required for staff members.
