Violations

Standard 8VAC20-780-330-B
Based on observation, measurements and interviews with staff, the center failed to ensure that where playground equipment is provided, resilient surfacing shall comply with minimum safety standards described in the American Society for Testing Materials and shall be under equipment with moving parts or climbing apparatus to create a fall zone free of hazardous obstacles.
Evidence:
1. The height of the slide on the plastic jeep play structure was measured at approximately 1 foot 9 inches, which requires a 5 foot 9 inch fall zone for the slide trajectory. There was approximately 3 foot 10 inches of resilient surfacing, creating the fall zone for the slide trajectory.
2. There was approximately a 4 foot 3 inch fall zone on the side closest to the fence of the dome climbing structure. A 6 foot fall zone is required.
Plan of Correction: Staff will consult administration.
