Backyard playground facility safety


Kindergartens should install safety information signs and notice boards within the public sight at the entrance of backyard playground facilities to inform users of precautions and relevant risk information. The materials for building the kindergarten backyard playground should be durable, hygienic, and easy to maintain. Metal materials must be painted and rust-proof, and wood should be treated to prevent cracking and irregular breakage. Sharp edges, sharp shapes, and dangerous sharp corners should be avoided for the external edges and parts of large toys in kindergarten backyard playgrounds. To prevent children from climbing, standing, or sitting on the dangerous edge of the playground equipment, a boundary should be set, leaving only one entrance and exit. The boundary should be away from the platform, and the height of the ladder or slope surface should reach at least 70cm.


Backyard playground facilities precautions


Almost all kindergarten backyard playgrounds will have outdoor slides. In addition to complying with relevant regulations, the design of slides also needs to pay attention to some common matters. The first is the safety labeling effectiveness of backyard playground slides. Not all slopes can be made into outdoor slides. A slide consists of three parts, the starting end, the trunk part, and the tail end. The slope of each part of the backyard playground is different. All slides in the backyard playground should have a tail end, and the tail end should be designed in a circular or arc shape. The height of the starting end is the same as the width of the main part, and the joint should be smooth and continuous. 


Secondly, it should be noted that the slide should be provided with side protection, and the side protection must ensure that the children will not fall from the slide and provide support for the children's hands. If the backyard playground is an open-proof slide and the main part is more than 1.5 meters, the width of the slide should be less than 7 cm or more than 95 cm. This specification can prevent children from being caught or injured on the side. The minimum height and width of the closed slide should reach 75 cm. 


Finally, to avoid the slide without interruption, to prevent clothes from being caught or fingers stuck, it is recommended that the surface of the sliding part be made of a single piece of material. If the slide is made of metal, it should be avoided in long-term sunlight. Climbing play is also a common facility in kindergarten backyard playgrounds. If it is large playground equipment such as a climbing net, it is necessary to ensure that the rope is hard enough, the braid of the rope and the net should have a smooth and flat outer surface, and the cable should be moderately tight. Stretch, one side is bent, loosened, or knotted, in addition, all parts of backyard playground climbing facilities should be made of anti-corrosion materials.
