As posters above have said, what is safe depends on where you work. In my industry, there are two components we check to ensure safety of children in our care--first, that the person has a First Aid/CPR card, and second, that they clear the Criminal Background Check done by the State Police.
Given that my job is more or less like being a lifeguard in a room, a safe person in charge is essential. It can be taught--I've been teaching safety to small children for many years now. It may seem like common sense stuff, but you would be amazed at how many college students I see around town blatantly ignoring basic safety concepts, such as Stop, Look, and Listen. If they don't show awareness in an unsafe situation such as crossing a street because they're too busy texting with earbuds in, will they be aware in a work situation? Hmm.
