Safety Tips for Ministries from Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company for April 2010
Let’s Go Outside!
Warmer days are here and that means it’s time to take those kids outside and let them play. Is your playground ready for the increased activity? After sitting unused for most of the winter, be sure to take a close look at your equipment before you set those kids loose. Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company offers a free playground safety checklist that can help your ministry take a good look at your playground equipment and make sure it’s ready to give the children you serve hours of safe fun.
Your playground should be:
- Designed and installed by professionals
- Separated from roadways with a fence, wall, or other barrier
- Supervised at all times by an adult when in use
Your ministry can download this free checklist and find many other playground safety resources at http://www.SafetyCentralOnline.com, Brotherhood Mutual’s online library of free risk management materials. You can also check with your insurance agent if you have additional questions or concerns.
