cement and Play Area Surfacing

ZN WARNING
« Falls onto hard surfaces could result in
head or other serious injuries.
+ Never put on concrete, asphalt, wood,
packed earth or any other hard surface.
* Carpet over hard floors may not prevent
injury.
Following are guidelines from the Consumer Product Safety.
Commission’s Handbook for Public Playground Safety to
minimize injuries that can result from falls. These guidelines
apply to playground equipment including but not limited to
swing sets and climbing equipment.
Hard surfacing materials are not suitable for use under
this equipment. Earth surfaces such as soils and hard
packed dirt are also not recommended because their
shock absorbing properties can vary depending on
climactic conditions such as moisture and temperature.
Grass. and turf are not recommended because their.
effectiveness in absorbing shock during a fall can be
reduced considerably due to wear and environmental
conditions.
Acceptable surfacing materials are available in two
basic types: loose-fill and unitary.
Loose-fill: materials can have acceptable shock
absorbing properties when installed at sufficient
uncompressed depth of:at least 6 inches. These
materials include sand (fine
and.coarse), gravel (fine and medium) and shredded
wood products. (wood mulch, shredded bark, wood
chips).
Loose-filis should :not be installed over hard surfaces
such as asphalt or. concrete.
The depth of any loose-fill material could be reduced
during use resulting in different shock-absorbing
characteristics. For this reason, a depth greater than
the minimum recommended should be considered.
Unitary materials are generally tubber mats or. a
combination of rubber-like materials held in place
by a binder that may be, poured in place at the
playground site and cures to forma unitary shock
absorbing surface.
Maintenance
Periodically check to be sure equipment has adequate
protective surfacing under and around it. Inspect surfacing
material for deterioration.
Check loose surfacing material for foreign objects or debris.
Also look for compaction and reduced depth, with special:
attention to heavy use areas such as those under swings
and slide exit regions.
