Keep Your Outdoor Swing Sets Secure and Safe

Outdoor swing sets are designed for maximum fun and maximum security. Here are some tips to ensure your child’s safety:

• Regularly check nuts and bolts and adjust them when necessary.

• Regularly inspect the swing set for damage and repair when necessary.

• Cover the ground with a soft, protective surface to absorb shock in the event of a fall.

• Ensure that there is constant adult supervision.

• Specifically tell children not to:

   o twist chains and ropes

   o swing empty seats

   o walk in front of or behind moving components

   o get off the swing while it is in motion

   o use the swing when they or the swing is wet

• Ensure that children are dressed appropriately, with no parts like ribbons and ties that can come loose and tangled.

• Do not use the swing sets when it’s raining or when there’s lightning.
