Based on observation, the center failed to ensure that all climbable playground equipment had the required resilient surfacing. A fall zone shall encompass sufficient area to include the child's trajectory in the event of a fall while the equipment is in use.
Evidence: On 3/13/2024, observed a non-measurable amount of resilient surfacing under the required fall zone in front of the larger slide of the climbable playset. On the side of the slide, there was approximately 3 inches of resilient surfacing. The required amount is 6 inches of resilient surfacing.
Plan of Correction:
Mulch was added on 3/14/2024.
