In the United States, the federal, state, and local agencies are guaranteeing the food supply to be safe in the workplace. The governor of the food and the manufactures play important roles in the food safety industry. The governments have to ensure a safety in the food supply and make sure the worker is properly trained in the workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration can help me as a teacher progress because it will point out safety training. Staff training is for all employees.

The outdoor area has to follow same procedures check outdoor equipment are. Making sure everything is age appropriate. The teacher have to identify things that might be a risk to the children such as special needed, that is safe way and easy accessible to all area in he classroom. Another requirement is evacuation procedure in place to prepare in case of a fire such as fire alarms and extinguisher near a fire exists. By doing this make sure the children’s health and safety are the staff top priorities.
