Gymnasia & playgrounds
In this age of the car and the urban life, with a lack of safe open spaces for children and generally sedentary occupations for their parents, the provision of playgrounds and gymnasia plays a vital role in maintaining the health of the nation.
However, high usage of lightly constructed equipment by unaware users can give rise to significant safety risks, and with this potential liabilities for the facility provider.
Ashdale Engineering have a long established experience of carrying out safety surveys on all types of recreational and physical training equipment – ranging from single swings in new housing estates, through school gymnasia both in the UK and overseas, to major military assault courses set over many miles of moor land.
Ashdale Engineering staff are trained to take an overall approach to this work – recognising that safety in use requires consideration not just of the structural condition of the equipment but also of such matters as access and usage controls, appropriate fall limits and ‘soft’ fall areas, and infrastructure management.
