To Help Prevent Injuries from Falls & Other Hazards
1. Never attach, or allow children to attach the following items to your swing set: Ropes, jump ropes,
clotheslines, pet leashes or any similar type of item to your swing set. Any item such as these may
present a strangulation hazard.
2. Periodically inspect all nuts, bolts, set screws, clevis, and carabineer or “S” hooks. Make certain that
these are functionally safe and secure. If you have any doubt as to the safety and security of any
connector or fastener, replace it.
2a. You should periodically check the brass bushings in the swing hangers. Look for excessive
wear in the bushing and replace as necessary.
2b. If your playground has a tire swing: The tire swing knuckle should be lubricated twice annually
to prevent wear.
3. Never allow children to wear bicycle helmets when using playground equipment.
4. Remove drawstrings from hoodie’s and jackets. Remove attached mittens and gloves. These can
become entangled with the equipment and present the risk of strangulation or other hazards.
5. Playground surfaces can become hot in the sun. Children should be required to wear shoes and socks
when using this or any playground equipment.
6. Check for and remove sharp points or edges in the playground equipment.
7. Remove tripping hazards from the playground area. Items such as exposed concrete footings, tree
stumps, rocks or any item that may be present in your space that a child could trip over while playing
should be removed.
8. Regularly check the play equipment and the surfacing surrounding it to be certain that both are in good
condition.
9. Parental Supervision is recommended. The best ingredient for a safe playground is good parental
supervision while the kids are using the equipment.
10. Remember to play safely, take turns, share with each other and have fun!
