Consumer Information Sheet for Playground Surfacing Materials
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that about 100 000 playground equipment-related injuries resulting from falls to the ground surface are treated annually in US hospital emergency rooms. Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be among the most serious of all playground injuries, and have the potential to be fatal, particularly when the injury is to the head. The surface under and around playground equipment can be a major factor in determining the injury-causing potential of a fall. It is self-evident that a fall on to a shock-absorbing surface is less likely to cause a serious injury than a fall onto a hard surface. Playground equipment should never be placed on hard surfaces, such as concrete or asphalt, and while grass may appear to be acceptable, it may quickly turn to hard-packed earth in areas of high traffic. Shredded bark mulch, wood chips, tine sand or the gravel are considered to be acceptable shock absorbing surfaces when installed and maintained at a sufficient depth under and around playground equipment.

Table B.1 Lists the maximum height from which a child would not be expected to sustain a life-threatening head injury in a fall on to four different loose-fill surfacing materials if they are Installed and maintained at depths of 150 mm, 225 mm and 300 mm.

Table B.1 Fall height in millimetres from which a life-threatening head injury would not be expected.

Type of Material

| Depth of surfacing material
---|---
150mm| 225mm| 300mm
Double Shredded Bark Mulch| 1800| 3000| 3300
Wood Chips| 1800| 2100| 3600
Fine Sand| 1500| 1500| 2700
Fine Gravel| 1800| 2100| 3000

However, it should be recognised that all injuries due to falls cannot be prevented, no matter what surfacing material is used.
It is recommended that a shock absorbing material extend a minimum of 1 800 mm in all directions from the perimeter of stationary equipment such as climbing frames and slides. However, because children may deliberately jump from a moving swing, the shock absorbing material should extend in the front and rear of a swing a minimum distance of twice the height of the pivot point measured from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting structure.
This information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock- absorbing properties of various materials. No particular material is recommended over another. However, each material is only effective when properly maintained. Materials should be checked periodically and replenished to maintain correct depth as determined necessary for the equipment in question. The choice of a material depends on the type and height of the playground equipment, the availability of the material in a particular area, and its cost.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• The play structure must be securely assembled.
• For safety reasons, the cement cubes must be poured 5cm below ground level, at the frame’s outer angles.
• The play structure must not be installed directly on cement, asphalt, or any other hard surface.
• Your play structure must be attached on a flat horizontal surface with a minimum of 2m between it and any structure or obstacle such as a fence, garage house, tree branches, cloths lines, or electric cables.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Please keep for future reference.

We recommend regular maintenance to be conducted at the beginning of each season as well as at regular intervals during the usage session for your play equipment to ensure all main parts/fixings are tightly secured, well-oiled and intact to avoid failure, injury or hazards.

GENERAL ADVICE
It is of particular importance that this is followed at the beginning of each season as well as at regular intervals during the usage season.

• Check the accessories monthly as well as the play equipment’s structure to prevent falling risks.

• Check and retighten screws, bolts, and all other hardware elements as necessary.
  a. Do not over tighten to avoid damaging the thread or cracking the surrounding wood.

• Check all coverings and bolts for sharp edges and replace when required.

• Lubricate all moving metallic parts.

• Equipment situated in a high moisture or high salt content locations are more likely to oxidant and rust. Regular checks should be done more often. When signs of oxidation and / or rust appear on various metallic parts of your equipment, sand rusted areas and tubular members and repaint using a non-lead-based paint when required.

• Where applicable: check swing seats, chains, ropes, and other means of attachment for evidence of deterioration.

• Replace when required in accordance with the owner’s manual.

• If your play structure is disassembled, be sure to clearly mark any attached metal plates to prevent accidents. Check all bolt covers and sharp edges and replace them if necessary.

• For longer accessory life, we suggest storing them during the winter.

CLEANING

Do not use any abrasive cleansers for the cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to eliminate dirt and dust.
