Question: These buckets were left in the play area after the construction crew finished working. Why is this a problem?
View Answer
These pails contain chemicals toxic to children and are never left in areas accessible to children.
Correction
Additional Guidelines and Recommendations
- After construction is complete, regular maintenance needs to be done. This includes cutting grass and/or removing snow.
- Periodically rake/replace/augment loose-fill ground cover.
- Periodically seal, stain or paint wood structures to prevent deterioration, and remove tools and chemicals when finished.
- Regularly replace sand/water in sandboxes and sand/water tables to avoid contamination by animal waste, pathogens or insects.
- Regularly inspect for garbage, debris, animal feces and other hazardous materials (e.g. needle syringes), and clean areas appropriately.
