Health and safety practices

21 Health and safety practices standard

The health and safety practices standard requires the service provider for every certificated playgroup to take reasonable steps to—

  • (a) maintain good health and safety practices at the playgroup; and
  • (b) ensure all practicable steps are taken to eliminate, isolate, or minimise hazards to  children attending the playgroup; and
  • (c) ensure that appropriate procedures are in place to deal with fires, earthquakes, and other emergencies.


Relevant health and safety forms and checklists for playgroups are available to download from this page.
