Technical Information
Safety
As members of RoSPA we take playground safety seriously. However we also believe it is important for children to experience challenges and evaluate risk. We are encouraged by the movement toward risk benefit assessment and will take into account the principles of ensuring a balance when creating or developing a play ground. All our equipment is designed and manufactured to meet (and often exceed) the requirements of European Safety Standard EN 1176. Where appropriate equipment is independently tested and carries TUV certification for compliance with EN 1176 and EN 1177.
Environmental Issues
Alongside our belief that every child has a right to play we are committed to doing our part to ensure the future of our planet. We only use timbers from sustainable managed sources and many products carry FSC or PEFC Chain of Custody Certification. Timber is an abundant renewable resource, recyclable, biodegradable and sustainable, and trees absorb CO2 during growth.
Installation
All of our engineers are Disclosure checked and have up to date training in the requirements of EN 1176 and installations are carried out in accordance with Association of Playground Industries guidelines. We will always leave the site clean and tidy and take into account safety of children in the area during the school day.
