Are Your Playgrounds Safe?
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, it is estimated that each year over 200,000 injuries occur on playgrounds and approximately 15 children will die from playground-related injuries.
Thorough Assessments
Our inspectors conduct thorough evaluations, examining every aspect of the play area. We inspect equipment for structural integrity, evaluate surfacing materials for impact attenuation, assess maintenance practices, and identify potential hazards or non-compliance issues.
Bleacher Inspection
We go beyond playgrounds and also offer inspections for bleacher areas. Whether it's a sports field, basketball court, or any other recreational area, our agents can help assess safety hazards, surface conditions, and equipment to promote a secure environment.
Actionable Recommendations
Following each inspection, we provide you with a detailed report with photos outlining our findings. Our reports include clear and actionable recommendations to address any identified hazards or areas needing improvement, empowering you to take prompt corrective action.
All-Aged Playgrounds
We have experience with inspecting play areas designed for children of all ages, from early childhood playgrounds to school-age play structures. Our inspections cover a wide range of equipment, surfaces, and environments to meet the unique needs of different age groups.
Compliance with Standards
Our inspections align with recognized safety standards, including CPSC, ASTM International, The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and relevant local regulations. We help you ensure your play areas meet or exceed the necessary safety requirements.
Accredited Certifications
Our inspectors hold relevant certifications and qualifications in playground safety assessments. They possess in-depth knowledge of safety guidelines, regulations, and best practices for inspecting various types of play areas and surfaces.
