Inspection Frequency Understanding how often your equipment should be checked is crucial for planning maintenance and spotting signs of wear. Use the guide below as a helpful reference:
  • Daily/Weekly Inspections: Quickly address obvious hazards, vandalism, or broken components to maintain safety.
  • Monthly Inspections: Identify and manage seasonal issues and wear from frequent use.
  • Annual Inspections: Conducted by a Canadian Certified Playground Inspector to ensure comprehensive safety and compliance.
Why Regular Checks Matter
  • Reduce Injuries: Identify hazards before they become dangerous.
  • Preserve Community Value: A safe and well-maintained play space reflects community pride and care.
  • Extend Equipment Lifespan: Timely repair and maintenance services protect your investment.
  • Budget Responsibly: Knowing when repairs are needed helps forecast costs and avoid surprise breakdowns.
  • Investigate Accidents: Understand the cause of incidents and prevent future ones.
Preventing Playground Accidents
  • Adult Supervision: Effective supervision can prevent up to 84% of playground accidents. According to the IWK Child Safety Link, falls are the leading cause of injury for children aged 5 to 9, and active adult supervision significantly reduces the risk. The Saskatchewan Prevention Institute also stresses that close supervision is essential, especially for children under 5, to prevent injury and ensure safe use of equipment.
  • Ongoing Repairs & Maintenance: Evidence suggests that playgrounds adhering to Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standards and recommendations can reduce the risk of injury by up to 30%, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance and compliance. Learn more.
