Soft Fall Testing
Soft Fall Testing is a critical component in ensuring the safety of playground surfaces. At The Playground Inspector, we undertake thorough testing processes in alignment with Australian Standards AS 4422:2016. This testing assesses the impact attenuation properties of various surfaces used in playgrounds, such as wet pour rubber, synthetic grass, and bark mulch. By evaluating the cushioning capabilities of these materials, we help prevent head injuries resulting from falls. This service is essential for playgrounds with elevated equipment and contributes greatly to reducing injury risks for children.
Routine Inspections
Routine Inspections are essential for maintaining a safe and hazard-free playground environment. These inspections are conducted visually on a weekly or monthly basis, helping to identify obvious risks such as damage from adverse weather, vandalism, or wear and tear. At The Playground Inspector, our trained staff use sophisticated tools to ensure any potential hazards are detected early. This proactive approach ensures that playground areas remain safe, preventing minor issues from becoming major safety concerns. Routine inspections are crucial for playground operators who wish to uphold their duty of care, and they support efficient maintenance planning.
Operational Inspections
Our quarterly Operational Inspections are designed to maintain the highest safety standards for playground equipment and surfaces. Each inspection is thorough, starting from entrance paths to shaded play areas, ensuring all aspects of a playground are reviewed. Our specially trained inspectors conduct detailed assessments of equipment functionality and surface integrity, checking for risks from wear, vandalism, or natural degradation. These inspections include risk evaluations based on the International Standard ISO 31000, providing comprehensive insight into immediate and long-term maintenance needs. This proactive approach ensures that playgrounds are kept safe and enjoyable for all.
