What is a key requirement for replacement staff before starting work?

A key requirement for replacement staff before starting work is having completed a facility orientation. This orientation is essential because it ensures that staff members are familiar with the specific guidelines, protocols, and safety procedures of the facility where they will be working. Knowledge gained during this orientation helps staff understand the layout, emergency procedures, and operational standards, which are critical for providing a safe and effective environment for both staff and participants. Without this orientation, replacement staff may not be adequately prepared to handle the responsibilities of their role, potentially compromising the safety and well-being of those they serve.
