Creating a secure soft play environment begins with in-depth training that reflects the best practices outlined by respected authorities. While many businesses have some form of safety procedures, the question is whether those efforts hold up against frameworks from ASTM, the CPSC, and CPSIA. Aligning your training with regulatory benchmarks reduces liability, builds brand credibility, and ensures ethical operation.
Key Elements of Standard-Compliant Soft Play Safety
Thorough hazard assessments set the foundation for safe soft play operations. Floor checks, padding assessments, safe play environment practices and securing equipment should be routine before allowing use.Setup and Breakdown Safety Procedures
A clear, structured layout reduces tripping risks and keeps emergency routes accessible. Our training outlines clear setup and teardown methods for both indoor venues and mobile play spaces.Maintaining Hygiene and Condition of Play Equipment
