| Findings: Complaint states that there are exposed nails and screws on the playground equipment causing rips and tears in a child's clothing. Complaint states it is the border housing the sandbox that has exposed nails and screws. Findings: Specialist did find a screw on the side of the platform and 3 finishing nails exposed on the platform with the brown house on it. The director states that she has instructed all the staff that this area is closed for use by the children and she has informed the Board of Trustees of the church that she wants the 2 platforms with houses on them next to the sandbox removed this weekend. Director states that she has hammered the nails back down but they just work back up. Center had repaired the pulling out of the side trim which was what was noted on the February inspection by removing the trim. These exposed nails are on the actual platform and those were not an issue in February. | |||
