Book your inspection

Children should be free to enjoy your indoor equipment with minimal hazard and our high quality indoor play area inspections make this a reality – while simultaneously helping to protect you if an accident should happen and a claim is made against you.

The Play Inspection Company has been conducting indoor (fully enclosed) soft play inspections since our formation and our professional service and competitive pricing has led to us being regarded as one of the leading providers in the industry.

If you’re in charge of an indoor play area you have an obligation to ensure that an Annual Inspection is carried out once every 12 months. This allows for timely identification of any damage or maintenance issues that may arise and present a risk to your users.

Our play inspectors are all qualified to an Annual Level by the RPII and our play area inspections are conducted in line with essential safety standards, including:

  • BS EN 1176
  • BS 8409: Code of Practice

Annual Inspections

Annual Inspections should be undertaken to ensure that the play area remains as safe as it can be; these inspections include a review of your current systems and procedures to help ensure maximum protection for your business in the unfortunate event of a claim being made against you.

In our experience, successful defence of claims can often come down to being able to supply adequate records of systems and inspections taking place.

We also include Risk Assessments as part of our inspection service free of charge.

Staff Training is also available at the time of the inspection.

Post Installation Inspections

When a new play area is installed, it is recommended in BS EN 1176 to have an independent Post Installation Inspection carried out to ensure that the new play area meets with the safety guidelines currently in force.

The Play Inspection Company can provide a detailed report for each new play area whether you are a new operator looking for confirmation that your play area has been built to the correct standard, or a manufacturer of the equipment.

Staff Training is also available at the time of the inspection.

Risk Assessment

Risk assessment is an important part of Indoor Soft Play safety management if used correctly. We are looking to highlight the hazards that users cannot expect to see and therefore require remedial action; rather than remove the challenge provided by the design of the equipment.

We calculate our Risk Assessment on a 5 x 5 matrix scale, assessing the likelihood of an injury occurring against the severity of the potential injury. Risk Assessing in this manner helps to achieve a sensible overall rating, and gives a clear indication where remedial action is required.

We believe it is pretty much impossible to inspect an Indoor Soft Play without carrying out some degree of Risk Assessment; It is therefore included free of charge with all of our inspections.
