THE HOME United Energy suggests you check that your outdoor areas are a safe haven for youngsters. All play equipment should be stable and away from pathways or solid garden borders. Check that barbecues are stable. If removable, please put away after use. Keep garages and sheds locked and use these non-accessible places to store tools, chemicals, climbing hazards, lawn mowers, petrol and other fuels.
Trampolines are dangerous.
However, if you have one secure it in the ground in a clear area and only allow one child to use it a time. Remove sharp branches at the child's eye level as well as tripping hazards. Always check around your car before reversing out of the driveway. Conduct regular garden clean ups for the well being of your children. At least 20 cm of chip bark or other similar material should surround play equipment.
