Children's Playground Safety (guidelines)

Children's playground safety guidelines focus on ensuring a safe environment to prevent injuries. Key principles include supervising children at all times, maintaining equipment regularly to prevent hazards like rust or broken parts, and ensuring surfacing material (such as rubber mulch or sand) absorbs impacts. Equipment should be age-appropriate, with proper spacing between structures to avoid collisions. Safe use practices, like sliding feet first and no climbing on unsafe areas, are essential. Additionally, signage should clearly communicate safety rules. Following these guidelines creates a secure space that promotes enjoyable play while minimizing risks.
