Insurance & Liability: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You
A Proactive Approach to Risk Management
If your indoor playground is showing signs of premature wear—whether frayed netting, broken components, or loose anchoring—you’re likely not alone. Many operators who invested in low-cost offshore play structures find that within 12 to 18 months, deterioration begins to set in. Unfortunately, these manufacturers often provide little to no post-sale service or warranty support.
This puts the entire burden of safety, compliance, and liability on your shoulders.
Without a current safety inspection or documented maintenance plan, insurers may limit coverage—or deny claims entirely—in the event of an injury. Worse still, failure to address obvious hazards can expose you to costly litigation and reputational damage.
SMART Playgrounds offers a practical solution. Our inspection, repair, and safety certification services:
Help protect your business from unnecessary liability
Provide insurers with verified documentation of safety compliance
Support proactive facility management and operational transparency
An annual inspection is more than just a best practice—it’s a safeguard for your business, your guests, and your future.
Step 1: Indoor Playground Safety Inspection
Thorough. Transparent. Industry-Compliant.
Our certified team begins with a full on-site inspection of your indoor play structure, assessing compliance with ASTM F1918, CSA Z614, and other regional safety standards.
We examine:
Structural stability and anchoring
Component wear and damage (slides, netting, decks, foam, etc.)
Entrapment and entanglement hazards
Surfacing and fall zone protection
Sanitation and accessibility issues
Operational safety signage and staff training systems
Each inspection includes detailed photo documentation and an easy-to-understand checklist report outlining immediate hazards, wear-related risks, and suggested maintenance. Most inspections are completed in one visit with minimal disruption to your operations.
Step 2: Quoting for Equipment Repair & Remediation
Real Solutions. Real Budgets. No Upsell Nonsense.
After inspection, we prepare a formal quote to address any issues uncovered—whether that means:
Replacing damaged netting or foam elements
Reconfiguring unsafe components or adding safety surfacing
Rebuilding worn-out attractions or activities
Replacement of loose clamps or damaged steel to restore structural integrity
Updating safety signage and staff training systems
Quotes are broken down line-by-line, with clear pricing and timelines. We also note urgency tiers so you can budget and prioritize repairs without guesswork.
Step 3: Indoor Playground Safety Certification
SMART-Certified for Safety. Recognized Peace of Mind.
Once your play space meets or exceeds the relevant safety benchmarks, we issue a SMART Playground Safety Certification—a dated, documented declaration that your indoor playground:
Has passed a third-party inspection
Is in operational compliance with ASTM, CSA and CPSC guidelines
Has no immediate safety hazards or code violations
Certified sites receive:
A digital certificate and on-site vinyl decal
A final inspection report suitable for insurance or municipal records
Optional inclusion in our online list of SMART-Certified Playgrounds
Certification is valid for 12 months, with renewal reminders and seasonal check-up packages available.
Why Choose SMART?
Unfortunately, many low-cost offshore installations are non-compliant and once installed support and/or parts are unavailable, or quite literally on a slow boat from China – to be installed by you once they do arrive. SMART Playgrounds builds and supports indoor play environments across North America using certified installers, materials, compliant layouts, and industry-respected practices. Our inspection and certification services are just another way we help operators deliver safe, exciting play with total confidence, and minimal down time.
