HOW SAFE ARE YOUR PLAYGROUNDS?

The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that over 205,000 injuries occur on playgrounds each year, with approximately 15 resulting in death.

The National Playground Safety Institute’s Playground Safety Inspector Course is the most comprehensive training program on playground hazard identification and risk management methods anywhere.

Two nationally–known playground safety experts present 15 hours of training, which includes an on–site playground visit.

NPSI designed the pre–course study and the training to prepare you for the Certified Playground Safety Inspector examination. The examination takes place the morning after course completion.
Program Highlights include:

Identifying Hazards on the Playground
Developing Risk Management Tools
Importance of a Comprehensive Safety Program
CPSC Guideline Review
ASTM Standard Analysis
Test Methods of Entrapment, Protrusions and Entanglement

NPSI does not recommend that you attempt the exam unless you have access to the materials three weeks prior to the course. Register today !
