Playgrounds are places of joy, imagination, and growth—but they must also be places of safety. Regular inspections are not just best practice—they’re essential for meeting the NZS 5828:2015 standard, which governs the safety of playground equipment and surfacing across New Zealand.

​

What’s at Stake?
Without routine checks, wear and tear, environmental damage, or improper use can lead to serious hazards. From loose bolts and broken components to compromised surfacing, even minor issues can pose significant risks to children.

​

Why NZS 5828:2015 Compliance Matters:
This standard ensures that playgrounds are designed, installed, and maintained to minimise injury risk. It covers everything from structural integrity and fall zones to surfacing impact absorption and entrapment hazards. Regular inspections help you stay compliant and protect your community.
