Prevent incidents<br />
with proper design,<br />
maintenance, and<br />
supervision of play areas<br />
S.A.F.E. Play Areas is a resource for facility managers<br />
and play supervisors in any playground or play area.<br />
This all-in-one guide explores the four components<br />
of the thoroughly tested, easy-to-implement<br />
S.A.F.E. model: Supervision, Age-appropriate<br />
design, Fall surfacing, and Equipment. For each<br />
component, the authors first examine the research<br />
to show why it’s a critical part of safety. Then they<br />
explain how to put that knowledge to practical use. The book’s CD-ROM includes a<br />
presentation for use as a quick refresher course in supervision, design, surfacing, and<br />
equipment maintenance for experienced employees or as training for new employees. It<br />
also contains reproducible safety assessment and injury report forms.<br />
