Certified Playground Safety Inspection
With over 200,000 playground-related injuries treated in U.S. emergency rooms yearly, regular inspections are essential to prevent accidents and protect children. Our certified playground safety inspections help you maintain a safe standard of care on your playgrounds.
Why Are Certified Playground Safety Inspections Essential?
Regular inspections identify hazards, prevent accidents, and ensure compliance with national safety standards from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Meeting these standards keeps children safe and demonstrates your commitment to safety, reducing your risk of liability.
- Prevent Injuries:
According to the CPSC, about 75% of nonfatal injuries related to playgrounds happen on public playgrounds. Regular inspections help identify and fix hazards before they lead to accidents. - Ensure Standard of Care:
Our inspections align with national safety standards, including those set by the CPSC and ASTM. Meeting these standards helps reduce liability risks and promotes community trust. - Prolong Equipment Lifespan:
Regular inspections catch wear and tear early, extending the life of playground equipment and reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.
What to Expect from Our Playground Safety Inspections
Our certified inspectors perform a comprehensive evaluation of your playground, assessing all equipment, surfacing, and overall site conditions. Our process includes:
- Playground Hazard Assessment: We examine all equipment types, looking for signs of wear, structural weaknesses, entrapment points, and other potential dangers.
- Playground Surface Impact Testing: We check your playground meets ATSM safety standards regarding fall height and proper surfacing materials and care.
- ADA Assessment: Ensuring your playground is accessible to children of all abilities is not only a legal requirement but also fosters inclusivity. We evaluate ADA compliance and identify areas where accessibility can be improved.
