5 Tips for Playground Safety<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The playground is younger students’ favorite place at school, but this area can pose many dangers if it is not secured property. Like the rest of a school campus, the playground should be thoroughly inspected by administrators to ensure children’s safety. A well-rounded security system implements technology with other preventive measures to keep the playground a happy, secure space where kids can be kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playgrounds CCTV cameras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Supervision is arguably the most important step that administrators can take to secure a playground. As part of a surveillance system, CCTV cameras<\/a> can provide an element of safety. Security guards can monitor the area remotely to look for any suspicious persons or activity around the children. If a child gets hurt or an altercation occurs between two students, administrators can also review this footage to view the incident and act accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Playground Audio surveillance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Much like CCTV cameras, audio surveillance<\/a> can be a great ally for playground-related incidents. They allow administrators to hear what children are saying to each other, which can be beneficial if they are talking about other students or strangers they notice in the area. Using audio surveillance can ensure that the playground is constantly supervised if the school does not have the means to hire a full-time security guard to monitor the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Playground Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Playground design can have a strong effect on safety. If equipment is too close together or not age appropriate, children’s security could be at risk. To avoid an incident, administrators can review the design before building the playground to ensure that there are no easy hiding places between pieces of equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Playground Fences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To keep children from leaving the playground vicinity, administrators can consider installing<\/a> a fence around the area. While open-looking fences are a great ally for home security, high, enclosed fences are better for playgrounds. These fences will prevent passersby from being able to see the children, and make it more difficult for children to get in potentially dangerous situations with outsiders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the playground is located within close proximity of a body of water, administrators should consider making the area inaccessible to students. If curious kids wander in the direction of a lake or river, and are not being properly supervised, a drowning incident could occur. Whenever possible, try to build a playground away from any bodies of water to avoid temptation in students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
