Individual Play
Component Worksheets
Each play component in the play
area should a separate worksheet. If there are two
slides or two climbers, use a separate worksheet for each. Use the comments
section of the worksheet to suggest potential repair or modification
options. When describing play components it is a good idea to use
the specific name used by the supplier, it will make communication between the
inspector, the owner, the supplier and the installer easier. Suppliers
have different names for the same piece of equipment. A corkscrew climber
can also be called a curly climber or a spiral climber.
