Why Playground Inspections Matter

Most playground hazards aren't immediately visible. Over time, surfacing compacts, equipment deteriorates, and conditions change, creating risks that routine maintenance may not identify.

A Certified Playground Safety Inspection (CPSI) provides an independent evaluation of playground equipment, protective surfacing, and site conditions using nationally recognized ASTM and CPSC safety guidelines. The goal is simple: identify hazards before they contribute to serious injuries and provide clear, practical recommendations to improve safety.
