School's out for summer and kids get to be wild and free for the next few months!! Here is a less-obvious safety tip to consider this summer, from your friendly neighborhood dispatcher! While many playgrounds are adopting sun shades and sails over their play structures, most do not have them. Always check the temperature of playground equipment (especially slides) before letting your kids play on them. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their bodies. Stay tuned for more tips! #FamilySafetyTips #KnowledgeIsPower #TheMoreYouKnow #911Dispatch #SummerSafety #SurviveSummer #Playground

Chalkboards aren't just for classrooms anymore. They're highly functional and it's a trend that's gaining steam in homes!

Did you know that walls & stairs can speak to your students? Walls & stairwraps are a great way to extend & reinforce your positive messaging to students as they move between classes throughout the day. Promote your core values, highlight the school mascot & speak words of affirmation into the hearts & minds of your students each & everyday. For older buildings, this is a also an excellent way to modernize your space. #stairwraps #wallwraps #schoolculture

🚨 Project Spotlight + Lessons Learned 🚨 We recently wrapped up an exciting project for Estes Park High School, handling everything from design to installation. The goal? To bring a fresh, modern feel to the building, boost school pride, and set the tone for students and visitors alike for athletic events. But here's the twist... We. Made. A. Mistake. During the process, a site survey miscommunication led us to print graphics that were 3 panels too long, skewing the entire design placement. What did we do? ✅ We owned it ✅ Communicated with the client ✅ Adjusted the design ✅ Reprinted & reinstalled in time for their deadline Instead of pointing fingers, we came together, fixed the issue, and improved our system to prevent it from happening again. Every setback is an opportunity to get better—and we’re better because of it. Our team knocked it out of the park.

🔹 Tuesday's Tip of the Week🔹 Maintaining playgrounds properly can significantly reduce playground-related injuries by as much as 45%, as reported by the National Program for Playground Safety. Here are some key factors and hazards that can be easily identified and prevented with a good playground maintenance plan: - Establishing proper safety surfaces (falls are a major cause of playground injuries). - Establishing adequate use zones and avoiding overcrowded play areas. - Securing elevated areas to prevent accidents. - Addressing protrusions and potential entanglement hazards. - Ensuring there are no openings where children could become trapped. - Mitigating tripping hazards. - Providing age-appropriate activities. - Creating accessibility for all children. - Installing guardrails on platforms where needed. - Regularly maintaining all playground equipment. By implementing these measures, we can create safer and more enjoyable playground environments for children.

As progress on the Safe Routes to School project continues, you may notice changes to areas around the designated School Zone too. Where School Zone signs do not include a posted speed limit, these are considered School Areas. These areas have lower risk and consider school type, road classification, road proximity to school, location of signalized intersections, and other deciding variables. School Zone sign installations will be fully complete by September 3rd. Elm tree trimming will take place after the August 31 tree trimming ban is lifted. #CityMJ #SafetyFirst

Playground equipment maintenance is key to creating a safe environment for toddlers. That’s why we ensure all maintenance practices align with ASTM F2373 standards, which focus on playground equipment designed specifically for children aged 6-23 months. To learn more about this safety standard, read the newest blog to learn more: https://birdeye.cx/3obuzi #playgroundguardian #playgroundsafety #parksafety #ASTM #childsafety
