⩥ Exemptions to Suspended Hazard Criteria
Answer: - Multiple suspended components
- Swing chain or cable
- Rope, chain or cable that is less than or equal to 7" long
- Climbing net structures
⩥ Five ways to access elevated platforms/structures (in order of
difficulty):
Answer: 1. A ramp
2. A wide stairway
3. A step ladder
4. A vertical rung ladder
5. A flexible climber
⩥ Access Ramps
Answer: - Most effective means of providing wheelchair access
- Max. ramp slope = 1:12
- Max. ramp run without landing = 144"
- Min. width = 36"
,- Landings min. diameter = 60"
⩥ Access stairways
Answer: - Handrails needed
- Stepped Platforms: 8" rise
- Transfer Platforms: 11-18" height
⩥ Access stepladders
Answer: - Handrails needed
- Tread depths vary based on age: "little feet need big treads"
⩥ Handrails
Answer: - Height between 22-38" from leading edge of step
- Children's fingers should wrap around at least 75%
- Rigid components: 0.95-1.55" diameter
- Flexible components: 0.62-1.55" diameter
⩥ Access arch climbers
Answer: - should not be the only means of access for 2-5 year olds
- should not connect to the structure above the platform
⩥ Access flexible components
,Answer: - not sole means of access for 2-5 year olds
- anchored at top and bottom
- allow pre-school users to bring both feet to same level
- anchored beneath the min. required level of the protective surfacing
⩥ Designated Play Surface
Answer: An elevated surface for standing, walking, crawling, sitting or
climbing, or a flat surface greater than 2"x2" having an angle less than
30° from horizontal
