Whilst that document is very long and comprehensive the key
issue of safety
in childrens playground surfaces is covered very clearly.
The risks associated with many surfaces are no longer acceptable
and will not meet the new BS EN
1177 European Standard when it becomes law.
Sharp edges, daily maintenance and other risks have to be
eliminated. The only commercial safety
surface that will meet all the new codes and provide a
cost effective and maintenance free environment is based on
wet
pour rubber technology.
Rubber mats and tile or tiles suffer from many problems including
keeping them in place and fitting them around existing hardware.
The design and specifications for
non slip outdoor play areas for toddler, infant and elementary
school children is well covered in the new
standard. |
