Note
This resource is designed simply to provide a detailed overview and guide of several key areas in the standards and best practice relating to the design, layout, management, inspections and installations of playgrounds.
Those involved in any area of playground design or maintenance should become thoroughly familiar with all relevant AS. The
AS should be referred to at all times in determining all relevant requirements for playgrounds.
Users of this manual should be always reference to the applicable AS or Manufacturer’s data and should be interpreted with a
realistic 'best practice' concern for community aspirations and safety.
This manual does not replace the need to use or rely on the actual AS documents, which contains information not included in this resource. In particular, designers and manufacturers of playground equipment need to be aware of all aspects and detail covered in the AS documents. Structural and mechanical integrity does not form part of our training and manual.
