chain wear, "S" hook openings is recom- mended by almost all manufacturers and should be done by a competent individual who has been shown what to look for. Annual inspections should be done similar to the monthly inspections but in more detail.

Cost estimate: The cost of equipment is
reflected in the size of the pieces and the complexity of the unit. Equipment costs can range from a couple hundred dollars to thousands of dollars with installation cost- ing anywhere from 50% - 100% of the equipment costs.

purely represented by what materials are used for both the equipment and the safety fall zone, wooden structures with loose-fill surfacing will demand more maintenance weekly, monthly and annually then a pow- der coated steel structure installed over a pour-n-place or rigid surfacing (tiles, syn- thetic turf, matting, etc.).

from the 2006 RSMeans Building Con- struction Cost Data within the Philadel- phia region and should in no way be considered current or used for budgeting purposes. ■ James Cornelius, CSFM, now works for
