Making playgrounds safe
Play is an essential part of a child's development, and outdoor play areas give children the space to follow their own ideas and interests, socialise with friends, and keep physically active. In order for this to be effective and allow parents to relax while children play independently, the area needs to be safe. Play equipment that is designed to correct safety standards is a given, but many do not realise the dangers that an unsuitable fence around a playground poses. There are an estimated 40,000 injuries to children on playgrounds each year which result in a hospital visit and potential legal action. Many of these include injuries from fencing that has an unsafe top, fencing being too close to play equipment, scratches or splinters from peeling paint, loose nails or rough timber, trapped limbs between incorrectly spaced pales, and fingers crushed by gates slamming shut. Investing in safe fencing means investing in a child's safe and happy development through play.
