What indicates the need for a safety audit of a playground?

  1. Changing of the seasons

  2. After major repairs or modification to existing equipment

  3. Installation of new water fountains

  4. Change in playground hours

The correct answer is: After major repairs or modification to existing equipment

A safety audit of a playground is a thorough inspection that evaluates the current safety standards of the playground. This can be done by a certified organization or by trained playground personnel. The audit typically covers the condition of existing equipment, surfacing, and other playground elements. It is important to conduct a safety audit after major repairs or modifications to ensure that the playground still meets safety standards. The other options, such as changing of seasons, installation of new water fountains, and change in playground hours, may also require safety checks but they do not specifically indicate the need for a safety audit. For example, changing of seasons may result in different playground hazards, but a safety audit is needed after major repairs to ensure the equipment is still safe for use.
