School Playground Inspections & Safety Assessments
Maintaining a safe and compliant playground is a key responsibility for every school. Regular school playground inspections help ensure equipment, surfacing and play areas meet Australian Standards (AS4685).
These standards help reduce risk to students and support your duty of care. Play Force provides professional playground safety inspections tailored to school environments, delivering clear, reliable reporting to support compliance, maintenance planning and audit requirements.

Why Schools Choose Play Force for Playground Safety

What's Included in a School Playground Inspection
Keep Students Safe with Regular Inspection Cycles
A regular inspection schedule supports both student safety and your school's duty of care.
Annual playground inspections help meet standard requirements, while additional checks post-maintenance and upgrades ensure ongoing safety. Additionally, implementing seasonal and weather-related checks (e.g. after a cyclone or during a heatwave) can help identify issues that may pose major risks to student safety, including hidden damage or potentially accelerated wear and tear.
These regular inspections reduce long-term costs by identifying issues early, reducing the likelihood of major repairs or unexpected risks.
How We Work With Schools
We make the inspection process straightforward and reliable from start to finish.
Booking and scheduling are coordinated around your school's needs. Our team conducts a thorough onsite inspection, followed by detailed reporting with clear findings and recommendations.
Depending on the inspection findings, we organise a review meeting and offer optional re-checks after maintenance works are completed.
Inspections are planned around school hours to minimise impact on school operations, with consideration given to student safety, supervision and timetable requirements.
