What does a playground safety inspector do?

As a playground safety inspector, you inspect playground equipment and play areas to identify potential risks and hazards. These can range from a swingset in need of repairs to surface materials that are uneven or abrasive, which increases the likelihood that children may sustain cuts and scrapes. Your duties and responsibilities revolve around ensuring that playgrounds and parks comply with all applicable safety guidelines. In some roles, you recommend appropriate remediation and repair, while in others you work with a team to perform the needed work.
