Posted By johnboy8014 I have been tasked with the production of a Risk/Benefit assessment for an item of equipment called a "KOMPAN single point nest swing" Can anyone provide me with a copy of a risk/benefit assessment for this equipment or at least a copy of a risk/bemefit assessment for any other equipment to use as a starting point for my documentation.

Posted By martinw Johnboy http://products.kompan.c...est_Swing_SPFE25057.html at least gives dimensions for the apparatus if it is the same; then EN 71-8 for the swing and EN 1177 gives standards for the ground surfaces eg of hardwearing. Not exactly what you were looking for but hope it helps. KOMPAN's UK number (Milton Keynes) is on their website, might be worth giving them a call? Martin

Posted By Sally Play England have a very good document titled Managing Play Provision Safely which talks in detail about the idea of Risk v Benefit. You should find what you want in that and it is available to download from the web.

Posted By Brian Hagyard johnboy Apologies if already telling you what you know but you might want to check out this link. http://www.hse.gov.uk/la...unews/june08/forinfo.htm its the very last item which may be of interest. The product looks different from the one you are asking about, but the information may help you in the benefit assessment. Regards Brian
