General FAQs
What is the difference between an audit and an inspection?
An audit is generally only done once in the life of a playground after it is initially installed to verify compliance with CPSC and ASTM playground safety guidelines and identify serious and potentially life-threatening situations. Inspections are to check for hazards and test performance of the entire play area and evaluate the structural integrity of each piece of play equipment and its surfacing.
How often does my playground need to be inspected?
The frequency of performing inspections is based on how often the park or playground is used.
How much does an inspection cost?
Inspection costs are based on the number of inspection sites.
