Protect students with this school playground safety checklist template for education facility managers and safety officers. The template enables thorough equipment inspections—identifying loose hardware, damaged components, and inadequate protective surfacing before they cause harm. If a teacher notices a swing set with worn chains or a slide with developing cracks, this checklist provides the structured documentation needed to address issues promptly.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents estimates around 40,000 children require hospital treatment annually for playground injuries. Using this template for inspections creates a safety record that both protects children and shows that you’re committed to maintaining playground equipment at the highest safety standards.
