an open playground. |

Personally
survey the playground and make sure it is
hazard free for your child. |

Children
should only play or use the equipment that
is meant for their age group. |

If
there are any problems with the maintenance
of the playground, please report it to the
appropriate authority. |

Opening
in head rails, ladders and other playing equipment
should be either very narrow or sufficiently
wide to prevent your child's head from getting
entrapped. |

There
should be no barriers to the free movement
of children such as tree branches or electrical
wires or construction poles. |

Lastly,
your child should be dressed properly for
play as clothes with hoods or draw strings
can cause strangulation thus leading to further
injuries. |
