The focus of this paper is to measure the awareness towards safety and health (SH) of children among Child Care Centre (CCC) staff and owners. The SH of children who stayed in CCC while their parents are working should be taken seriously. When choosing the CCC, considerations for safety and health should be considered in addition to the CCC's price and location. This study used the quantitative technique with 119 respondents, including owners and employees of CCC who voluntarily enrolled in the risk assessment course for owners and employees of CCC. In conclusion, the majority of respondents were unable to distinguish between risk and hazard in the CCC before enrolling in the course and will require additional training in the future on safety and health.
