Playground Safety Inspection Report
Site & Inspection Details
Summary of Findings
Overall the playground is in fair condition. Two items could cause serious injury and should be addressed, or the affected equipment closed, before the next day of use. The remaining items are wear-related and can be scheduled.
Photo-Documented Findings
Open S-hook at swing hanger
Issue: S-hook gap exceeds 0.04 in. — an entanglement and chain-separation hazard.
Recommended Action: Remove swing from service. Replace or close S-hook with manufacturer-approved hardware.
Exposed rebar spike at border timber
Issue: Rotted timber has exposed a protruding rebar stake inside the use zone — impalement and tripping hazard.
Recommended Action: Cut rebar flush or remove; replace deteriorated border section.
Displaced surfacing below required depth
Issue: EWF measured at 4 in. at slide exit; 9–12 in. is required for the 6 ft fall height.
Recommended Action: Top off and rake surfacing to 12 in.; consider wear mats at high-traffic exits.
Protruding bolt end
Issue: Bolt extends beyond nut by more than two threads, failing the protrusion gauge test.
Recommended Action: Trim bolt and install manufacturer cap nut.
Crack forming in slide side wall
Issue: Early-stage crack and UV fading on lower slide wall; no sharp edge yet.
Recommended Action: Monitor monthly; budget for replacement slide section within 12 months.
