What Is Safety Compliance?
Playground safety compliance refers to adherence to the safest standards set by the ASTM F1487 Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Playground Equipment for Public Use. We audit and inspect playgrounds ensuring that they are safe for children to use. Compliant playgrounds require regular inspections conducted by certified inspectors.
These inspections assess the condition of the equipment, surfacing, and overall playground environment to identify potential hazards. ASTM F1487 standards emphasize that people should design playgrounds with equipment and layouts that are appropriate for the children who intend to use them — ensuring that children of different age groups can safely enjoy the play environment.
