How to become a playground safety inspector?

Becoming a playground safety inspector requires you have some prior education and experience, typically at least a high school diploma or GED certificate coupled with several years of professional experience working with government contracting and construction. In this job, you must be thorough and observant, with good analytical and problem-solving skills. Earning certification as a Playground Safety Inspector allows you to demonstrate your qualifications and may set you ahead of other job seekers. The CPSI program requires attendance at a two-day, instructor-led course. During the training, you learn to identify and document hazards like entrapments, protrusions, and dangerous heights. Afterward, you must pass a 100 question exam, offered on the third day of the course or online at an approved testing center.
