Audits & Inspections

Playground safety audits

Playground owners and operators have an on-going duty of care to maintain a safe and compliant play space.

Reference to playground inspections and their regularity is contained in Australian Standard AS4685.0:2017. In addition to regular routine inspections which you as the client are responsible to carry out, a more detailed annual inspection is also required.

Our experienced staff are available to perform this inspection on your behalf.
