This daily playground surface temperature checklist helps educators assess the heat of play areas before allowing children to use equipment. Record temperatures with an infrared thermometer or use a touch method to rate surfaces and identify risk. Check common surfaces such as rubber, astro turf, sand, metal poles, slides, swings, climbing frames, and concrete. Capture date, time, location, notes, and educator initials, then make a clear decision on whether play is permitted. Use alongside your Sun Safety Policy to reduce heat-related hazards.
