Certified Playground Safety Inspector
Over 156,000 injuries reportedly occur on public playgrounds each year. Many of these injuries could be prevented through proper supervision, scheduled maintenance, proper playground layout and by utilizing age appropriate equipment.
A Certified Playground Safety Inspector is trained and certified by the National Recreation and Park Association and should be consulted anytime you’re considering new equipment, playground design, layout, safety surfacing or have any questions concerning age appropriateness of the play activities. Playground equipment safety is critical to preventing injuries to children while at play but equally critical to your business by allowing you to avoid unnecessary and expensive litigation. Not only can a certified playground safety inspector assist in the selection of appropriate playground equipment but they can ensure that it is properly located within the play area and verify installation against the Handbook for Public Playground Safety.
Guidelines issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and ASTM are very specific in how equipment is to be installed and laid out but more importantly these guidelines are based upon years of injury data and prepared by leading experts in the field of playground equipment safety. In some cases such as Michigan these guidelines are now law which every day care center must now abide by. Please contact a certified playground safety inspector to assist your business in ensuring that every child has a safe, fun experience while in your care. Your businesses success may well depend upon on it.
