A warning from Church Mutual, which insures many of our private schools:
“Due to the onset of COVID-19 and subsequent guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), organizations are using more chemical cleaners and disinfectants than ever before. Unfortunately, this has given rise to more accidents including severe chemical burns.”
“Making mistakes with cleaners and disinfectants can have serious consequences. As an example, the product used to disinfect playground equipment at one of our insured’s daycares was not diluted pursuant with the label instructions prior to application. As a result, several children sustained chemical burns. One child had significant injuries requiring multiple surgeries and treatment in the ICU burn unit.
