Purpose
This legislation requires that during operating hours at least one employee of child care programs and child day care centers be certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Summary of provisions
Section 390-a of the social services law is amended by adding a new subdivision 5. Currently day care providers and staff are mandated to have basic health and safety training, but CPR is not part of the required training.
Justification
The welfare and safety of the children of New York is a primary concern. The Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) encourages day care providers to take CPR courses, but law does not require them to, This bill would require that during operating hours, at least one CPR certified employee is present Accidents are the leading cause of death among infants and this bill would not only save lives, but prevent numerous cases of brain damage. It is imperative that our children's lives are placed in the care of those adequately trained and certified in CPR.
