The highest climbing member, such as a rung or platform, of climbing equipment should not be higher than 2m for school-age children or 1.2m for preschool-age children. Stationery climbing equipment should have a fall zone extending a minimum of 2m in all directions from the perimeter of the equipment. The fall zone for swings should extend at least 2m from the perimeter of the support structure on each side as well as a minimum distance of twice the height of the pivot point in front of and behind the swing seats. Fall zones on the sides of adjacent swing structures may overlap. |
The platform of a slide should not be higher than 2m for school-age children or 1.2m feet for preschool children. For slides, the fall zone behind the access ladder and to the sides of a slide should extend a minimum of 2m from the perimeter of the equipment. The fall zone in front of the exit of a slide shall extend a minimum distance of 2m from the end of the slide chute or for a distance of H+1.2m, whichever is greater. H is the height of the slide platform. |
