Pre-Season Safety

Pre-Season Safety

Not only will regular inspection and maintenance keep your equipment safe, it will also extend the life of your play area.

A leading UK playground inspection and maintenance company is urging holiday park owners to check the condition of outdoor play equipment before the start of the season to avoid costly repairs during the busiest time of the year. RSS (Playground Inspection and Maintenance) advises that failing to check equipment could lead to equipment failure rendering the play area out of action during peak periods.

In the worst case, a failure could cause an accident resulting in a personal injury claim, a fine and bad publicity. “Play equipment is like any item with moving parts - they suffer wear and ultimately they break or decay,” says Andy Readman, Managing Director of RSS. “You wouldn’t leave your car in the garage for five months and then take it for a long journey without first checking it over!”

Andy adds: “Not only will regular inspection and maintenance keep your equipment safe, it will also extend the life of your play area giving you the best return on your capital investment.”
