west dean REC GROUND & play park

The British and European safety standard BS EN1176 and the Health and Safety Executive strongly recommend that all play areas should be inspected annually by an independent specialist to ensure the long term safety of the site, equipment and ancillary items. This will also meet legal and insurance responsibilities as well as complying with the requirements of EN1176 (the European Playground Standard).

A RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) inspection is conducted on West Dean's Rec Ground and Play Park annually and a written report supplied covering site safety and condition, equipment, surfacing, and ancillary item safety and condition. Recommendations for any remedial action required are given together with risk ratings for each item.
