Playground Safety Inspection
Safety & Compliance Inspection to NZS5828
Why certified inspection?
In the unfortunate event of a serious playground injury, being able to demonstrate compliance with NZS5828:2015 is often essential.
Playground owners and operators have a duty of care to prioritise safety. A certified inspection provides documented proof that reasonable steps were taken to identify and mitigate potential hazards. Failure to meet the NZS5828 standard could not only compromise user safety but also expose your organisation to legal liability in the event of an incident.
