Rank: Guest		Posted By Ian Clay Has anyone carried out any risk assessments on playground equipment and play areas especially slides, swings etc. We are about to embark on whether to do these ourselves or contract the work out. I just need a feel of the degree of difficulty in carrying these out before a judgement is made.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Emma Forbes Hi Ian, I have some assessments on hard copy which we had our playground inspectors draw up - if you would like, I'll send some to you? If so, let me know and I'll forward a sample to you.
