Safety Services That Help You Protect Children and Reduce Liability
A safe playground does not happen by accident. It takes regular inspections, reliable surfacing, clear documentation, and practical maintenance planning. PlayForce provides the services you need to identify hazards, verify compliance, and make informed decisions with confidence.
Playground Safety Inspections & Audits
Identify hazards, prioritize risks, and receive a clear path forward with professional CPSI-led evaluations.
Impact Testing (ASTM F1292)
Measure Gmax and HIC performance to confirm your playground surface helps protect against serious head injury.
IADA Compliance Reviews
Evaluate access routes, transfer systems, and site usability to support a more inclusive play experience.
NinjaTek Unitary Surfacing
Durable rubber surfacing designed for impact attenuation, longevity, and heavy-use playground environments.
NRPA Playground Maintenance Training
Hands-on training for teams responsible for inspection routines, surfacing care, and documentation.
Equipment Maintenance & Repair Support

Small Problems Become Big Risks Fast
Playground surfacing and equipment conditions change over time. Weather, wear, usage, and repairs can all affect performance. Regular inspections and testing help uncover issues early, support compliance efforts, and provide documentation that shows you are taking safety seriously. Similar providers in this space emphasize routine inspections and surfacing checks because compliant conditions do not stay static over time.
200,000+
Children are treated in U.S. emergency rooms each year for playground-related injuries.
Most injuries involve falls
Falls to the surface are a leading cause of playground injuries, making surfacing performance critical.
ASTM F1292 Matters
Impact attenuation testing helps verify that surfacing performs to recognized safety standards.
A Simple Test With Serious Safety Value
An impact test uses a calibrated device dropped from playground fall height to measure how well a surface absorbs impact. The test focuses on two key values:
Gmax — peak impact force
HIC — likelihood of serious head injury
When a surface is tested to ASTM F1292, owners gain objective data about whether the material is performing as intended. That matters for risk reduction, maintenance planning, and compliance records.
When Should a Playground Be Tested?
- Before opening a new playground
- Annually
- After severe weather
- After repairs or surface changes
Surfaces degrade over time.
Compliance is not permanent. Routine testing helps you catch problems before they become bigger liabilities. This is also how similar inspection providers frame the need for re-testing and verification.
