What are the additional safety considerations that must not be ignored?

Safety surfacing comprises choosing the material and making sure that some additional safety conditions are met. Some of them are mentioned below:

• The commercial playgrounds must use materials that comply with ADA standards.
• The commercial playgrounds must be firm and made from supportive safety surfacing materials that can hold and support wheelchairs for accessibility. 
• Before installing rubber flooring, the existing plant material should be eliminated. 
• Cleaning weeds from time to time is required to make the area clutter-free.

• Bonded Rubber: It is one unitary layer system that provides a long-life durable option for any recreational area. It is a wonderful choice for achieving natural look, along with the advantages of a unitary surface. It is not like the loose fill surface. It does not get displaced. Even the maintenance of bonded rubber is quite low.
• Poured in Place Rubber: It is one of the widely used materials for playground safety surfacing. It is evident from the name that the material is poured on-site. The poured in place rubber is made from the two-layer which are:
  • Base layer: it is recycled rubber that has been taken from used tires.
  • Top layer: it is a mixture of rubber and a binding agent known as polyurethane.
• Rubber Tiles: The rubber tiles are known for their quality of being resilient and durable. They are available in numerous shades, designs, and patterns. The rubber tiles can be interlocked with each other providing an easy installation process. The normal range of thickness varies from 1 ½ inch to 5 inches thick. If any tile gets defective, there is no need to replace the whole flooring.
• Bonded Rubber Mulch: It is chosen in cases when the flooring should be flexible and affordable as well. They are soft and provide a convenient floor for the children to land on it. The bonded rubber mulch uses about 6 inches of material to serve the protective function and save the child from 10 feet height. Its better than other types of much as it never displaces and requires no replenishment.

• EPDM Rubber: This type of flooring proves to be a very effective and resilient type of flooring. This material is resistant to ozone, UV, and extreme weather conditions, making it a perfect fit for playground applications. EPDM rubber floors can be customized according to the need, whether it is required indoors or outdoors. It has a high coefficient of friction, due to which it offers extra grip.
