Condition: Providers must comply with all applicable health and safety requirements, which includes trainings in eleven specific areas for employees. Documentation for required employee trainings was missing for several employees tested.
Criteria: The compliance supplement states that providers must comply with all applicable health and safety requirements, which includes trainings in eleven specific areas for employees.
Cause: Employees either did not receive their annual trainings or the documentation was not retained.
Effect: There is missing documentation required by OSSE and the compliance supplement, which could lead to licensing or funding consequences.
Recommendation: The Center should maintain a checklist of the required annual trainings for each employee and enter the date each training is completed. The Center should be continuously monitoring the trainings during the year to ensure each employee is staying up to date on the requirements.
