during installation, children can gravitate to unattended equipment, thereby increasing safety risks.
Do not attach swing chains, exercise rings, or similar moving components until the entire
construction is complete and safety surfacing is in place.
In addition, never leave the job site unattended without making sure that all open holes are covered
with a material such as plywood. Rope off all unfinished equipment to keep the children away until
the build is complete.
It is recommended that you have a Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) on site during
installation. Upon completion of the installation (including safety surfacing and all site amenities), the
playground should be audited by a Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) providing
documentation indicating the playground is installed correctly and meets the guidelines set forth by
the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
