2025 QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔There must be no obstructions within how many inches above a disignated play
surface - ✔✔84"
✔✔What about materials must be recorded? - ✔✔the durability.
✔✔CCA - ✔✔chromated copper arsenate
✔✔For lead contamination, equipment installed before what year should be checked? -
✔✔1978
✔✔Fasteners must - ✔✔not be able to be removed without tools, and must be corrosion
resistant or have a corrosion-resisitant coating
✔✔Plastic materials shall be protected from ? - ✔✔U/V light
✔✔1487 - ✔✔5th percentile 2 year old to 95th percentile 12 year old
✔✔3 1/2 inches to 9 inches - ✔✔89 mm to 229 mm
✔✔Especially check equipment installed before 1991 - ✔✔for head entrapment
✔✔If torso probe goes in, but head template does not, - ✔✔opening is considered a
head entrapment hazard
✔✔4 inches - ✔✔102 mm
✔✔how much must each probe be inserted? - ✔✔4 inches
✔✔Another name for a wedge - ✔✔a fish probe
✔✔If the A portion goes in without touching either side and getting to the bottom -
✔✔then is is compliant and needs no further testing
✔✔If A portion touches both sides before bottom, - ✔✔B portion is needed. If B portion
goes lower than where a touched, it is a head entrapment. If b portion does not go in, no
neck entrapment hazard is present
✔✔Projections that have the potential to injure users are identified by ASTM as -
✔✔Protrusions
, ✔✔If the projection passes through the face of the 0.12 gauge, - ✔✔is is a protrusion
hazard
✔✔What should the thickness of a gauge for vertical projection be ? - ✔✔0.12 inches or
3 mm thick
✔✔If a projection extends more than 1/8th (0.12") from initial surface, - ✔✔then it is an
entanglement hazard
✔✔More than 2 exposed bolt threads may be considered an - ✔✔entanglement hazard
✔✔Recessed bolts may be inaccessible and not subject to protrusion test - ✔✔true
✔✔Is Sophia da domb? - ✔✔Yes
✔✔What are three factors that contribute to injuries? - ✔✔improper supervision,
maintenance, improper use, site planning issues
✔✔3P - ✔✔probability, possibility, consequences
✔✔playground site - ✔✔must be well drained
✔✔2-5 area must be seen from - ✔✔5-12 area
✔✔C C A - ✔✔chromated copper arsenate
✔✔check equipment installed before 1978 - ✔✔for lead paint
✔✔any completely bounded opening betwwen 3 1/2 inches to - ✔✔less than 9 inches is
a hazard
✔✔If waise probe goes through, - ✔✔then opening is accessible to children
✔✔If waist probe goes through, but then head probe does not, - ✔✔then the opening is
an entrapment
✔✔If one of the four sides of a completely bounded opening is formed by a protective
surfacing, - ✔✔then the opening is exewmpt from head entrapment requirement
✔✔Feet first entry into a head entrapment is a - ✔✔priority one hazard.
✔✔Common mistake is found between the support post - ✔✔and the last vertical bar
