Why Safety Inspections Matter:

Playgrounds are essential community spaces, but over time, equipment and surfaces can wear down due to exposure to natural elements, heavy use, and unexpected damage. Regular safety inspections are crucial to maintaining the safety and longevity of these areas. Here’s why consistent maintenance and CPSI-certified inspections are essential for your play areas:

  • 1. Prioritize Safety and Reduce Liabilities
    Regular maintenance and safety inspections help minimize potential risks, protect visitors, and reduce your organization’s liability. By adhering to high safety standards, you demonstrate to the community that you prioritize their well-being.


    2. The Goals of CPSI Surface Testing and Safety Inspections
    The primary objective of CPSI (Certified Playground Safety Inspector) surface testing and playground reviews is to ensure the safety of all users. These inspections also highlight your organization’s commitment to maintaining and upholding playground safety standards. While casual checks can be done by staff or volunteers, detailed inspections by certified professionals are essential. Their trained eyes can identify potential hazards that might otherwise go unnoticed.


    3. Reduce Playground Injuries with CPSI Inspections
    An estimated 28,500 children face injuries in playgrounds each year—many of which could be reduced by having a CPSI surface testing safety inspection. At Bugaboo Designs, we dedicate ourselves to spotting potential playground risks and enlightening communities about the essence of playground safety and preservation. We firmly believe in play’s pivotal role in nurturing a child’s cognitive, physical, and emotional development.


    4. Demonstrate Your Commitment to Safety
    In the unfortunate event of an incident, having documented safety inspections and reports as evidence can protect your organization by showing that you have consistently prioritized safety. Regular inspections not only maintain compliance but also enhance the trust and confidence of the community in your play areas.
