High-Frequency Playground Inspections
An ounce of prevention may save a child's life  

By Marilynn Glasser

A worn, rusty S-hook at the top of a swing gives way, and a child tumbles to the ground.

Another child falls from a climber onto a surface where mulch hasn’t been replenished in more than a year.

Still another child happily playing with friends slips on the playground and is cut on broken glass.



These types of accidents can easily be prevented if maintenance folks practice high-frequency playground inspections. These routine inspections take a minimal amount of time, and are the ideal way to maintain a safe playground between comprehensive inspections by certified safety inspectors.
