manufacturers documents
Contacts, warranties, Maint repair
instructions, parts list et.

Documents developed in -house
Site plans, drawings, playground audits
etc.

104
Q

Purpose of Regular inspections

A

Maintain the standard of Care. Identify new safety-related concerns resulting from changes in playground environment due to wear, vandalism, breakage, storm damage, litter or other environmental concerns.

105
Q

Factors impacting inspection frequency

A

Use Factor ( extent of use, age or user,
vandalism pattern, accident
patterns)
Environmental factors ( drainage and soil
conditions, location proximity to

natural amenities)
Equipment and Surfacing factors ( Type of
equip, age of equip, design of equip
static or moving, type of materials
used

106
Q

What if an accident is reported

A

A CPSI should investigate

Contact your risk manager

secure the area

take corrective action

take pictures of scene ASAP

save broken pieces

Don’t admit fault or guilt

Don’t let fear of liability keep you from taking necessary corrective actions to prevent a recurrence.
