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.
