Abstrakt		Background: Health and safety are two important attributes of nursery schools.Playgrounds are an integral part of the nursery school complex. It is very important that playgrounds constitute an environment that ensures health,safety and welfare of children. Some sections of "Technical norms and minimum requirements for nursery schools" (Official Gazette of the Republic ofSlovenia No. 73/2000 and No. 75/2005) deal with playground safety policies, and some other with playground site, layout and equipment.The Institute of Public Health advises nursery schools in the region on how to fulfill these regulations, and those responsible for advising should be fully informed aboutthe situation concerning local nursery school playgrounds. Methods: The questionnaire asked questions related to playground regulations. The sample studied consisted of 66 randomly selected nursery schools from the Ljubljana healthcare region. Survey with inspection of all playgrounds in the sample wascarried out in the field and, at a later stage, via telephone. Results: Thecollected data showed that 97% of the nursery schools surveyed had fenced playgrounds, yet not all fences complied with safety regulations: some were too low and did not prevent climbing, and two-thirds had no self-closing gatesand were therefore not suitable for playgrounds. Only one third of stairsin playgrounds were visibly marked. Conclusion: The study assessed the appropriateness and safety of playgrounds in the sample. The shortcomings werediscussed with the nursery school management in order to find viable solutions to the problems. In two cases the local community was asked for financial support.
Izvleček		Izhodišča: Vrtec je okolje, kjer sta zdravje in varnost pomembni vrednoti. Sestavni del objekta vrtca so igrišča, ki so namenjena igranju in druženju otrok. Urejenost igrišč je zelo pomembna z vidika zdravja, dobrega počutja in varnosti otrok. Pravilnik o normativih in minimalnih tehničnih pogojih za prostor in opremo vrtca Uradni list RS št.73/2000 in Uradni list RS št.75/2005v nekaterih segmentih opredeljuje varnost igrišč, v drugih pa zgoljurejenost igrišč. Zavod za zdravstveno varstvo vrtcem v svoji regiji svetuje tudi pri odpravljanju neskladnosti z določili navedenega pravilnika, zato je potrebno, da pozna stanje igrišč vrtcev v svoji regiji. Metode: Vprašalnik je bil pripravljen na podlagi navedenega pravilnika. Vzorec je zajel 66 naključno izbranih vrtcev in enot vrtcev iz ljubljanske zdravstvene regije. Anketiranje in pregled vseh igrišč v vzorcu je potekalo na terenu, kasneje tudi v obliki telefonskih razgovorov. Rezultati: Analiza podatkov je med drugim pokazala, da imajo v preiskovanem vzorcu vrtci v 97 % ograjena igrišča. Vendar pa vse ograje niso ustrezne (dovolj visoke, neplezalne), enako velja tudi za vrata v ograjah, ki v dveh tretjinah niso ustrezna (z avtomatskim zapiranjem). Le v dobri tretjini vrtcev, ki imajo na igrišču stopnice, so te vidno označene. Zaključek: Z raziskavo je bilo v preiskovanemvzorcu ugotovljeno stanje na področju urejenosti igrišč. Z vrtci smo se pogovorili o ugotovljenih pomanjkljivostih, skupaj smo skušali najti rešitve za njihovo odpravo, v dveh primerih smo za reševanje finančne problematike pisno pozvali na občine ustanoviteljice.
