FLOOR
Places where strings can be caught, such as the area between the platform
and the net, nuets and bolts that protrude, and v-shaped places, should be
eliminated. However, the first line of defense may be to dress children in
clothes that do not have strings. Both of these adjustments can avoid
potential strangulation.
Fall zones, the area under and around playground equipment where
children can fall, are very important and should include a properly cushioned
surface. The total space is dependent on the type of equipment at the
playground, but in general, the surface should extend a minimum of 6 feet in
all directions from the edge of stationary playground equipment.
Hazards such as protruding bolts and nuts should be eliminated. These items
can catch children's clothing, potentially causing strangulation, punctures or
other serious injury.Reduce bolts to extend no more than two threads
beyond the face of the nut. Open S-hooks should be closed metal to metal.
Climbing ropes should be anchored on both ends.
Improper surfacing is the leading cause of playground injuries, accounting for more than
70% of incidents
involving children falling on playgrounds. Hard
surfaces such as asphalt, blacktop, concrete, grass, packed
dirt, or rocks are not
acceptable. A fall onto one of those surfaces could be life-threatening.
Acceptable alternatives include hardwood fiber/mulch, pea gravel, and
sand. Other options include
rubber tiles, mats, or poured surfaces. Surfaces
should be maintained to a depth proportionate to the
heights of the equipment,
but a 12-inch depth is a good guideline for
equipment up to 8 feet in heights. A
manufacturer should provide test results to indicate appropriate depth of their
material proporti
o
nate to
the height
of the equipment.
CLIMBING SAFETY:
There should be no openings between
4" and 8" on any
playground equipment. Such a space could trap child's
head. Even if a child enters a space feet first, the head should
be able to clear the opening. Watch openings between
platforms, spaces on climbers where the distance between
platforms, spaces on climbers where the distance between
runs might be less than 8 i
n
ches, and openings on the top of a
slide. Those intervals must be filled in or eliminated.
