Standard #: 8VAC20-780-270-A Description: Based on observation and an interview with a Center Representative (CR #1), the center failed to maintain a sandbox on the playground in a safe and operable condition.
Evidence: The sand box was approximately 4 feet by 4 feet. It was buried in the ground with the sides protruding above ground level just a few inches. It contained no sand which left a large, square hole approximately 8-10 inches deep that presented a tripping hazard. CR #1 reported that they no longer have the lid and that they were planning to remove it and fill in the hole with mulch.Plan of Correction: I have spoken with the church trustees and they will remove it. It will be filled in with mulch.
