HHSC assigns each standard a risk weight from Low to High. A deficiency is a finding that a minimum standard was not met.
Sample inspector narratives
This standard was evaluated with reference to a report and was determined to be deficient. On at least two occasions, when children in care went on a field trip, and only one van was used, two children in care shared a seatbelt.
Children were transported by the operation in a general-purpose vehicle without the use of safety belts; there were more children loaded into the vehicle than there were seats and safety restraints available for use by passengers.
This standard was tasked as part of an investigation and found deficient. On at least one occasion, children have shared safety belts due to the exceeded capacity of the center's van.
