What is NOT a factor effecting inspection frequency?

Playground location
Type of soil
Color of surfacing material
Climate

The correct answer is: Color of surfacing material

Inspection frequency determines how often a playground should be checked for potential hazards and safety concerns. The options A, B, and D are all factors that can affect the condition of the playground, and therefore, the frequency of inspections. Playground location refers to the environment in which the playground is situated, such as a rural or urban area. This can impact the level of wear and tear on the equipment and overall safety. The type of soil can affect the stability of equipment and potential for erosion. Climate also plays a role in the wear and tear of a playground, with extreme temperatures and weather conditions potentially causing damage. The color of surfacing material, however, does not affect the frequency of inspections. While it may impact the aesthetics of the playground and potentially indicate wear and tear, it does not directly affect the safety of the equipment.
