GENERAL COMMERCIAL PLAYGROUND SAFETY GUIDELINES

uPLAY TODAY

800.458.5872 www.ultraplay.com 2

Maintaining your playground equipment and its surrounding area is essential to minimizing the risk

of injury to users as well as maximizing its useful lifespan. UPlayToday STRONGLY recommends

that you follow these Safety Guidelines in conjunction with conducting periodic maintenance

inspections using the accompanying Playground Maintenance Checklist.

When installing your playground, always consider local conditions. Good common sense works

hand-in-hand with the instructions.

LOCATING YOUR PLAY STRUCTURE:

Comply with the following when choosing the location for your new equipment: Equipment

shall be positioned to eliminate conflicting traffic patterns. As a general rule, allow at least 72" of free

space around the entire structure, EXCEPT for slide exits, which require a distance X equal to the

highest point of the sliding surface with a minimum of 72" and maximum of 96" from the edge of the

slide. (example: a Wave Slide from a 72" deck requires 72" of clear space with resilient surfacing in

front of its exit.) Swings must have a minimum Use Zone in each direction of twice the swing beam

height. This minimum area should be filled with the appropriate resilient surface material. Read further

for resilient surfacing recommendations.

If your equipment includes any metal slides, they should be positioned in a shaded area, or at least

be placed to avoid the direct rays of the sun.

Never overlap the safety zones of adjacent equipment. All separate play equipment must have its

own safety zone, and these cannot overlap. So, if you have an existing structure with a slide exit

oriented toward your new one, add a minimum safety zone to that of the existing slide to determine

how far away you need to be. Never install playground equipment near, around, or in conjunction

with swimming pools, ponds, lakes, or any other bodies of water.

CHOOSING RESILIENT SURFACE MATERIAL:

NEVER INSTALL EQUIPMENT ON CONCRETE, ASPHALT OR EVEN GRASS WITHOUT

RESILIENT SURFACING! A fall on a hard surface from as low as a 36" high deck has been found

to result in serious injury to the user.

According to ASTM guidelines: "Unacceptable material for use zones of play structures with fall

heights of 18" or less shall include all hard or abrasive materials such as asphalt, concrete,

terrazzo, or other materials with similar characteristics. "Other standards apply for equipment with

fall heights greater than 18".

Soft, resilient surfacing should be placed in the use zones of all equipment, as specified for each

type of equipment, and at depths to meet the critical fall heights as specified by the U.S. Consumer

Product Safety Commission, ASTM standard F-1487 and Canadian Standard CAN/CSA-Z-614.

Your UPlayToday structure has a maximum fall height of 72".

Install Wood Mulch (EWF) at a depth of 12". Over time this mulch will compress to a depth

of 9" as required by the U.S. Consumer Product Safery Commission, ASTM standard F-1487 and

Canadian Standard CAN/CSA-Z-614. For more information on the proper surfacing materials, call

the CPSC hotline at 1-800-638-2772.

Worn surfaces around equipment should be restored. Concrete footings should never be exposed.

Refer to the attached PLAYGROUND MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST.

Check for erosion and cratering of surfaces under slides and heavy traffic areas and restore surfacing

as necessary.

Surfacing leading to play opportunities for children with disabilities should be firm, stable, slip

resistant, and resilient.

Tip: If your surfacing is of the loose variety, checking for proper depth over time can be made easy

by applying a non-removable fluorescent tape of paint in a bright color at the proper level on each

upright post. Thereafter, as the resilient material compacts or washes away, the person responsible

for regular maintenance inspections can easily see it must be replenished as the marks become

visible.

OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS:

Overhead obstructions (for example, exterior obstructions such as tree limbs and interior lights)

within the use zones of play structures shall be a minimum 84" (2130 mm) above each designated

play surface outdoors and a minimum of 48" (1220 mm) above each designated play surface

indoors.

All overhead utility line clearances above outdoor supervised and outdoor unlimited access settings

shall comply with all local, state, and national codes, such as the National Electrical Safety Code.

For specific equipment fall zone requirements, refer to the CPSC and ASTM F1487 and use the

more stringent of the two.

CATCH POINT & PROTRUDING HARDWARE:

There should be no dangerous pieces of hardware, such as protruding bolt ends and narrow gaps in

metal connections. Exposed hardware can cut or puncture skin and catch clothing drawstrings, which

could strangle a child.

All protruding nuts and bolts should be eliminated; sharp edges on pipes should be capped or

removed. Check for bent, broken, or severely worn pipe and replace. Examine slide bedways,

bedrails, handrails and exits for foreign objects, holes, and rough edges.

TRIPPING HAZARDS:

There should be no exposed concrete footings, abrupt changes in surface elevations, tree roots, tree

stumps, and rocks, which can trip children and adults. Check for trip hazards, such as the balance

beam support posts, or environmental trip hazards, such as rocks or roots in the play area. Make all

necessary improvements or repairs.

AFTER THE EQUIPMENT IS IN USE:

-Never add components not intended for use with this product.

-Never install other play equipment, fencing, landscaping, etc., that encroach upon the safety

zones of this equipment.

-Check overall stability and rigidity of all play equipment.

-Check for proper assembly, installation and ground anchoring.

-Check and re-tighten all fasteners after the first few days of use and again after three weeks of use.

Thereafter, exercise normal maintenance procedures. Use of a thread-locking compound on the

threads of bolts can prevent persistent loosening.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:

Regularly inspect and maintain your playground equipment and its surrounding area to help ensure

the safety of the user. Proper maintenance of UPlayToday equipment includes using the

accompanying Playground Maintenance Checklist found in this booklet to identify areas requiring

repairs or replacement, and barricading the equipment to prevent use while corrections are being

made.

As the Owner/Operator of the equipment, you should establish and maintain detailed installation,

inspection, maintenance, and repair records for each public-use playground equipment area. Find

out if your playground has a designated official who periodically inspects the play equipment for

preventative maintenance. This includes but is not limited to: replacing missing, broken or worn-out

components; securing hardware; checking for deterioration in the metal or plastic materials;

maintaining the proper depth of surfacing material; and cleaning up debris.

The following are some regular maintenance areas of note:

-Check for and repair damage caused by wear or vandalism, a major factor in injury causing

situations.

-Proper maintenance of UPlayToday equipment requires regular tightening of all bolts, nuts, set

screws, and other hardware.

-All equipment should be free of rust and repainted with an appropriate lead-free paint whenever

necessary to deter rusting. This should also be done for any chipped or peeling areas.

-Regular checking of all parts, casting, etc., should be made. If part is broken or worn it should be

replaced immediately.

-Check for missing or broken parts, rungs, or steps and repair as necessary.

-Check to be sure there is free movement on moving attached parts.

-Check for hard surfaces and correct, including under slides and etc. where loose surfacing may

have been kicked away. Refer to CPSC surfacing requirements.

-Check for surfacing material that is worn or scattered and restore.

-Debris, broken glass, trash, or other foreign objects within or on the play area/equipment should be

removed.

-Check for poor drainage areas and repair.

-Check concrete footings to see if they are exposed, cracked, or loose in the ground and repair as

necessary.

-Check for crush points (exposed mechanisms, junctures of moving components) and eliminate.

-Check for broken supports or anchors. Check for stability in ground. Structures should not be

easily swayed; connections should be solid and adequately secured.

-Check all posts in ground for corrosion or rot below grade.

-When flexible components are anchored in the ground, check and make sure anchoring devices

are below the level of the playground.

-Check exit areas of slides. The exit area should be no more than 11" from the protective surface

for slides under 48" high. For slides over 48" high, the height of the exit region from the surface

should be between 7" and 15".

-Check the surface area around slide exit for erosion and other damage and repair if necessary.

-Check for visible cracks, bending, warping, rusting, or breakage of any component and repair as

needed.

-Check for accessible sharp edges or points. Check for protruding bars, bolts, nuts, etc. Eliminate

these conditions.

-Check for exposed ends of tubing that should be covered with plugs or caps.

-Check for loose bolts, nuts, etc. and tighten.

-Check for broken or missing rails, steps, rungs, or seats and replace.
