SOFT PLAY PLAYGROUND SAFETY

Soft Play Manufacturing

There are a number of safety standards that apply to soft play playgrounds. These standards are designed to ensure the safety of children who use the playground and to reduce the risk of injury.

Here are some key safety standards for soft play playgrounds:

Surface

The surface under the soft play equipment should be soft and shock-absorbing to reduce the risk of injury from falls. This may include foam padding, rubber tiles, or sand.

Equipment Maintenance

All soft play equipment should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure that it is in good condition and safe for use.

Supervision

Children using soft play playgrounds should be supervised at all times by a responsible adult.

Age-appropriate equipment

The soft play equipment should be appropriate for the age range of the children using it. For example, younger children should not be allowed to use equipment intended for older children.

Capacity limits:

The soft play playground should not be overcrowded, and there should be enough space for children to move around safely.

Safety signage

The playground should have clearly visible safety signage, including rules for use and emergency exit information.

Emergency procedures

The playground should have clear emergency procedures in place, including a first aid kit and a plan for evacuating the playground in the event of an emergency.

It is important to follow these safety standards and any additional guidelines or regulations that may apply in your area to ensure the safety of children using soft play playgrounds.
