Reliable soft play safety is founded on training programs built around industry-acknowledged benchmarks. While many businesses have some form of safety procedures, the question is whether those efforts hold up against frameworks from ASTM, the CPSC, and CPSIA. Assessing your training against such standards helps protect children, supports your reputation, and keeps your operations both legally compliant and ethically sound.
