I recommend setting a reminder to ensure these inspections have been completed monthly. • We discussed rule .0601(c). Surfaces of play equipment should be routinely inspected. Cracks in plastic can leave sharp edges or pinch points for small fingers and hands. Rust poses a serious threat to children as well.
