Selecting benches for public spaces requires careful consideration of safety features that protect users and ensure longevity. First, prioritize durable materials like powder-coated steel or treated hardwood that resist weathering and vandalism. Install benches with secure, tamper-proof anchoring systems to prevent tipping or theft. Design for accessibility by including armrests for support and ensuring proper height (17-19 inches) with clear knee space underneath. Maintain visibility through open-design structures and strategic placement in well-lit areas. Consider rounded edges to prevent injuries and non-slip surfaces on seating areas. Smart cities now integrate emergency features like discreet panic buttons or USB charging for safety devices. Regular maintenance protocols complete the safety cycle, ensuring benches remain functional hazards-free for all community members.
