• Select, inspect, and maintain safe, age-appropriate toys, furnishings, and playground equipment/surfacing.
• Prevent injuries from tip-overs, choking hazards, and unsafe materials; use integrated pest management.
• Prepare for and respond to accidents, injuries, poisonings, fires, and other emergencies.
• Identify lead risks in water, paint, soil, dust, and consumer products; understand health effects.
• Arrange professional testing/inspection, interpret results, and develop lead mitigation or abatement plans.
