While back to school is still not quite back to normal this year, one thing remains the same: recess! Playground safety is a big priority and a large part of the precautions you implement throughout the school. That’s because every child’s favorite class is a hot spot for accidents: it’s estimated that 200,000 children aged 14 and younger are treated for playground injuries every year.
Getting your campus child-safe is one thing. Keeping it safe is another, especially during the pandemic. But don’t forget your regular safety concerns, because they’re still here. This high- level safety checklist is a good reminder of how widespread your risks can be.
Your school playground was an expensive investment, with some manufacturers suggesting an expenditure of $1000 for every child expected to use it. Keeping that investment in good shape protects both children and your budget.
1. Inspect the playground and equipment. Step outside to check for and address:
A little maintenance and care keep your playground safe for enthusiastic students during their favorite time of the day.
Next, it’s a time to:
2. Take a look at your school’s playground safety plan. Among suggested items and actions are to:
Your school may include different or additional safety requirements than what is listed here. It could also cover points differently at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. And, of course, your plan will need to be fluid to address COVID-19 protocols when mandates change in your area. But, with all of this in mind, it’s clear to see that developing and following a safety plan is more critical than ever to ensure student and staff safety this school year.
After your safety planning, it’s a good time to:
3. Investigate solutions to the school’s financial risk exposure. Regardless of the best planning and precautions, one of the biggest financial risks to the school budget is accidents to students, whether on the playground or somewhere in the school or gym.
A-G Administrators has been helping schools with this type of coverage for nearly 40 years with three flexible plans.
Our flexible coverages offer you choices to fit your situation’s needs and budget. For example, all plans help cover medical expenses due to accidents, but there is a difference in who pays for the insurance and the time frames covered. Plans can be tailored for your unique needs and include:
These options make it easy to help mitigate the financial risk of accidents while you’re doing the hard work of reducing the risk of them happening. We also offer industry-leading claims management services that practically eliminate red tape and control expenses with more than 40+ provider networks nationally. This is especially important with our compulsory plans, where the school pays the premiums.
