Which of the following is not listed as a type of playground hazard?

  1. Tripping Hazards

  2. Water Hazards

  3. Sharp Points, Corners and Edges

  4. Entanglement and Impalement

The correct answer is: Water Hazards

Water hazards are not commonly found in playgrounds as they are a safety concern for children. Tripping hazards, sharp points, corners, and edges are all significant concerns and must be addressed when designing a playground. Water hazards can include wading pools, swimming pools, and large bodies of water that could pose a drowning risk. The other options, such as tripping hazards, sharp points, and entanglement, could cause injuries to children while playing.
