Reliable soft play safety is founded on training programs built around industry-acknowledged benchmarks. While many businesses have some form of safety procedures, the question is whether those efforts hold up against frameworks from ASTM, the CPSC, and CPSIA. Assessing your training against such standards helps protect children, supports your reputation, and keeps your operations both legally compliant and ethically sound.
What Constitutes Industry-Level Soft Play Safety?
Risk management and hazard control are essential before any child engages with play equipment. Floor checks, padding assessments, and securing equipment should be routine before allowing use.Organized Setup and Disassembly for Safer Play Spaces
A clear, structured layout reduces tripping risks and keeps emergency routes accessible. Our training outlines clear setup and teardown methods for both indoor venues and mobile play spaces.Cleanliness and Equipment Care Standards
Daily cleaning schedules using approved non-toxic cleaners reduce illness risks. Detailed cleaning plans and logging practices ensure consistent hygiene.Monitoring and Responding to Emergencies in Soft Play Settings
Neglecting staff oversight can result in preventable injuries. We train teams to recognize risky behavior and respond with confidence during emergencies. Emergency preparedness is enhanced through training in basic medical aid and response routines.Meeting ASTM, CPSC & CPSIA Through SIOTO Training
Our curriculum is shaped around guidelines from the leading safety organizations in the U.S. ASTM criteria guide our instruction on equipment materials, builds, and cushioning effectiveness. We incorporate CPSC guidance to teach layout planning, surface safety, and maintenance. CPSIA ensures non-toxic materials, label compliance, and chemical safety, all of which are addressed in our training. Meeting these standards often leads to better insurance options and fewer liability issues.Beyond Soft Play: Expanding Training Options
