MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
PROCEDURES
An inspection and maintenance program is a requirement for
all playground equipment. As the owner/operator you are
responsible for developing a comprehensive inspection and
maintenance program for each piece of equipment you own.
Daily inspections of all play areas and equipment for potential
hazards is recommended. Pay special attention to moving parts
and other components that are expected to wear. Also inspect
for foreign debris (broken glass, nails, sharp metal) that could
cause injury in and around all play areas.
At a minimum inspections should be scheduled and performed
based on the component maintenance requirements. Inspection
is not enough, you must perform necessary maintenance when
a problem is identified and the equipment must be taken out of
service until it is corrected.
A person familiar with the equipment should perform
inspections and maintenance.
The component maintenance sheets and a general inspection
checklist are included in the next section of this booklet and as
the owner it is your responsibility to ensure that you have a
copy of each sheet for each component on your playground. If
you require additional maintenance sheets simply contact your
distributor for a new copy.
All documents that have been included are originals and you
will need to make copies to use while performing the
inspections and any required maintenance.
All completed forms should be put on file or you may want to
insert them at the end of this manual.
Before making copies, note the site location and identify which
playground each form is for, on the form itself to prevent using
the forms from this playground on equipment from another
playground.
SURFACING
Surfacing should be inspected regularly (daily) to ensure that
the required surfacing has not been displaced. Displaced
surfacing should be raked back into its proper place to maintain
the required depth.
Things to look for during inspection:
1. Heavy traffic areas (swings and slide exits) which are
prone to surfacing displacement
2. Standing water: Surfacing compacts much faster when
wet.
3. Most loose fill surfacing will no longer function as a
protective surfacing when frozen.
SportsPlay Equipment does not manufacture surfacing and
is only providing this information on surfacing as a guide
for safety. Please contact the manufacturer of your
surfacing for a complete guide on surfacing inspection and
maintenance
