El Cajon, CA (PRWEB) October 22, 2009 -- American Swing Products, a manufacturer and supplier of commercial and residential playground equipment, has made available through its website a comprehensive checklist for school playground safety. Their School Playground Equipment Safety Checklist walks users step by step through their playground to help ensure that the equipment and its surroundings are as safe as possible. The checklist, says the company, is in keeping with their "safety-first" product line and their overall commitment to helping create safe school, community, and residential playgrounds for all children. Used in conjunction with high quality playground equipment, the safety checklist can help avoid playground injuries and subsequent lawsuits.

When assessing the safety of a school playground, American Swing Products stresses the importance of checking for potential hazards on playground equipment including visible cracks, bending, warping, rusting or breakage of any school playground equipment component, missing, damaged or loose swing seats or swing set parts, heavy seats with sharp edges or corners, splintered, cracked or deteriorated wood, and tripping hazards such as roots, rocks, or other environmental obstacles.
