Looking for a playground inspection in Florida?

The Cost of Neglecting Playground Safety

Florida law does not have a specific statute requiring that all commercial playgrounds be inspected. However, playgrounds must adhere to safety standards established by national standards, and there are liability risks and industry guidelines that necessitate regular inspections to ensure compliance.

1. Florida Administrative Code for Childcare Facilities: According to the Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Chapter 65C-22, childcare facilities are required to maintain playground safety. This includes ensuring that playground equipment and surfaces are in good repair and meet safety standards. While the law does not explicitly mandate CPSI inspections, it does require compliance with safety standards that inspections typically verify.
2. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Guidelines: Florida playgrounds follow CPSC’s “Public Playground Safety Handbook”, which outlines guidelines for playground safety. Adherence to these guidelines is not a state law but helps reduce liability and ensures compliance with safety best practices.
3. ASTM Standards (American Society for Testing and Materials): Many Florida municipalities and organizations voluntarily adopt the ASTM F1487 standards for playground equipment safety, which recommend regular inspections to ensure that playgrounds meet safety requirements.
