102417(g)(5)(A) · Operation of A Family Child Care Home (g) The home shall be free from defects or conditions which might endanger a child. Safety precautions shall include but not limited to: (5) All licensees shall ensure the inaccessibility of pools (in-ground and above-ground), fixed-in-place wading pools, hot tubs, spas, fish ponds and similar bodies of water through a pool cover or by surrounding the pool with a fence. (A)Fences shall be at least five feet high and shall be constructed so that the fence does not obscure the pool from view. The bottom and sides of the fence shall comply with Division 1, Appendix Chapter 4 of the 1994 Uniform Building Code. In addition to meeting all of the aforementioned requirements for fences, gates shall swing away from the pool, self-close and have a self-latching device located no more than six inches from the top of the gate. Pool covers shall be strong enough to completely support the weight of an adult and shall be placed on the pool and locked while the pool is not in use.
Deficient Practice Statement Based on observation the licensee did not comply with the section cited above. Today, LPA observed a rusted pool latch (gate near the swing set, near back of the yard), preventing the self-latching mechanism to work properly. The gate had a lock on it today and this gate was only accessible through a separate gate that was latched today, making this area inaccessible. In addition, LPA observed two-fold up tables placed against the pool fence causing a potential climbing hazard for children to get to the pool. This poses a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care. POC Due Date: 09/01/2023
