Abstract

In order to evaluate the playground risk factors, 45 nursery schools of a USL were investigated. The results show that the risk factors depend mostly on inadequacy of the playground equipment and of its installation and maintenance. Moreover the playground surfaces are frequently nonelastic and the first-aid kits insufficient. Pediatricians have a key position in scholastic accident prevention.
