Operational Playground Equipment Inspection
by Peter Kerstan, from the Community
This operational playground equipment inspection template helps councils, facility managers, and playground operators verify compliance with Australian Standards. It covers access, entrances, signage, surfacing conditions, drainage and softfall depth, and detailed checks for swings, slides, carousels, track rides, sandpits, skate bowls, exercise equipment, and water play. Inspectors can capture photos, note hazards, confirm maintenance performed, and record issues like corrosion, sharp edges, looseness, entrapments, and cleanliness. Use it to standardize checks, document findings, and improve safety and maintenance planning.
