The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) worked with an
independent, qualified playground consultant to develop a
methodology for assessing the compliance of all playground
equipment in its jurisdiction with the 1998 CSA standards and
1990 CSA guidelines. Details of the methodology are given in the
online appendix at www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/172/11
/1443/DC1. In the spring of 2000, the same consultant assessed
all playground equipment in TDSB elementary schools (n = 398)
for CSA compliance and indicated whether the equipment in each
case should be left as is, repaired or retrofitted, or removed and
replaced. Two factors were considered in making the decision: the
severity of injury that could result from using the equipment and,
where equipment was noncompliant, the feasibility of achieving
compliance through repair or retrofit.
