Are there specific guidelines for childproofing electrical outlets in childcare facilities?
Yes, childcare facilities are required to adhere to strict safety guidelines to protect children from electrical hazards. These guidelines often include the mandatory use of tamper-resistant receptacles (TRRs), regular inspections of electrical systems, and ensuring that all outlets are covered with safety plugs or plates. Additionally, childcare facilities must ensure that all electrical cords are securely fastened and out of children's reach, and that any damaged electrical equipment is promptly repaired or replaced.
