Buying the play equipment is just the easy part of it, but maintaining and following the safety measures is the difficult. For your convenience following are the some of the safety measures for your play equipments.

Maintain equipment properly, following the manufacturer’s guidelines. Check often to make sure bolts are tightly anchored; cut off or cap protruding bolt ends, should be flush with the surface, with no gaps or spaces that could create a hook. Inspect wood equipment for splinters and cracks. It is also a good idea to round off edges of wood with a sander. Sand it and apply a wood sealer according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Make sure hooks and chains on swings aren’t worn or too rusty. Don’t allow a free-swinging rope on equipment or on trees. Loose ropes can form a loop or noose and strangle a child. Ropes that are securely anchored to the ground are OK, as long as they aren’t frayed; a worn rope may not support a child’s weight and may pose a strangulation hazard. Don’t make a swing from a tire tied to a tree branch. There probably won’t be enough clearance between the swing and the tree trunk, and your child could hit the tree and injure himself.


Always supervise children on the equipment. Kids shouldn’t wear loose clothes or clothes with strings, which can catch on the equipment and cause strangulation. And never let them play on wet equipment. Bike or sporting helmets should never be worn on a playground. They can get caught in the equipment and increase the risk of choking or strangulation. Teach your kids to play safely. Make sure they know that walking in front of the swings or jumping off moving equipment is dangerous. Don’t allow them to tie ropes of any kind to the equipment, or to swing empty seats. Inspect your day-care provider’s play equipment and make sure the staff supervises kids during play.

Buy him the play equipment that he wants to play with. Each child is different. Some children will be able to play with certain toys, or play independently outside at much younger ages than others. A child's ability to understand and follow rules will be a big factor in outdoor play, Many parents today use perimeter or area motion detector alarms to warn them when a child has overstepped the boundaries as an extension of an existing home alarm system.
Other examples of dangerous toys can be choking, cutting and even poisoning hazards. Unfortunately, some toys are just plain dangerous. Be especially cautious with old or handed down toys. Take time to look up the item online to see if it is dangerous, or has been recalled. New toys should be clearly labeled with safety concerns and warnings, so be sure to read and follow them for good play time security and overall home security.
