Creating a secure soft play environment begins with in-depth training that reflects the best practices outlined by respected authorities. Although basic safety measures are often in place, they must be evaluated against regulatory bodies such as ASTM, CPSC, and CPSIA. By measuring training practices against official standards, operators can enhance safety, strengthen customer trust, and fulfill legal obligations.
The Pillars of Effective Soft Play Safety Standards
