play equipment safety

Play equipment safety involves ensuring that playground structures are well-maintained, sturdy, and free of hazards like sharp edges or rust. Surfaces beneath equipment should be soft and impact-absorbing, such as rubber mats or mulch, to reduce injury risk. Regular inspections and proper adult supervision help prevent accidents. Equipment should be appropriate for age, with clear guidelines on weight and height limits. Keeping play areas clean and free of debris also minimizes tripping hazards. Overall, safety measures aim to create a fun environment that reduces injury risks while encouraging healthy play and exploration.
