How often should playgrounds be inspected?

BS EN 1176-7 recommends three levels: routine visual inspection (weekly to daily), operational inspection (1-3 monthly), and annual main inspection by a competent person (RPII registered). The certificate covers the annual main inspection.

What qualifications are needed?

Annual inspections should be carried out by a person registered with RPII (Register of Play Inspectors International) or holding equivalent competence. Operational inspections can be done by trained in-house staff.
