It is recommended that the following safety concerns are addressed before students occupy
the school:
• ASTM 8.13.7, CPSC 9.5 The rolling portion of the track ride was exposed, making a
pinch, crush and shear hazard. There should be no accessible pinch, crush, or shearing
points on playground equipment that could injure children or catch their clothing.
• CPSC 4.2 The rubber guards on tire swings are showing signs of wear and should be
maintained.
• CPSC 4.2 Paint was noted to be flaking on older equipment and should be maintained.
• CPSC 2.4 No protective surfacing is installed around equipment use zones of the large
climbing tire. Earth surfaces have poor shock absorbing properties and are not
recommended. Refer to CPSC Playground Safety Handbook for appropriate types and
depths of protective surfacing. Note: All protective surfacing needs to extend 6 ft in all
directions from play equipment. Never use less than 9 inches of loose -fill material such
as mulch, wood chips or pea gravel.
Please feel free to contact me at 425.339.8762 should you have any questions, or should you wish to
schedule a pre -occupancy inspection.
Sincerely,
